An emperor penguin, dubbed Gus, was found malnourished in Western Australia, far from its Antarctic habitat.

An emperor penguin, the first of its kind ever found in Australia, was discovered malnourished on a tourist beach in Western Australia, about 2,200 miles north of its Antarctic habitat. The penguin, nicknamed Gus, is being cared for by wildlife expert Carol Biddulph and is receiving chilled water mist to help adapt to the warmer climate. The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions is working on rehabilitating Gus and considering options for potentially returning him to Antarctica.
