Looking for warmer climates, Confused penguin strays 5,000km
A Magellanic penguin whose natural habitat is the cool climes of southern Chile has strayed thousands of miles from his home, arriving in Peru.
The penguin, native to the Strait of Magellan region of Chile, swam all the way to Peru’s Paracas national reserve.
Maybe he’d welcome global warming?
This reminds me of the cartoon character, Chilly Willy (to you Brits out there, not that willy), who even had a theme song:
To me, this story brought to mind the Bugs Bunny cartoon of the little lost penguin who, it turns out, is from Hoboken, NJ. But danged if I can find that cartoon on You Tube.
