The emperor penguin was found on a popular tourist beach in Denmark, Australia, around 3,500 kilometers north of its Antarctic habitat, raising concerns about its well-being.
According to Belinda Cannell, the largest penguin species has never been reported in Australia, although some have reached New Zealand, highlighting Gus's unusual journey.
Wildlife experts are focusing on rehabilitating the malnourished penguin Gus, employing methods such as spraying with chilled water to help him adapt to the warmer climate.
The government department remains uncertain about the penguin's future, indicating that various options for his rehabilitation and potential return to Antarctica are still being explored.
