Bon Voyage!



Remember Happy Feet--the wayward Emperor penguin who got separated from his flock and ended up on a beach in New Zealand? Well Happy Feet has made a full recovery from the surgery he had to remove the sand and stones from his belly and is en route to his native Antarctica.

Happy Feet was given a lavish send off at the Wellington Zoo and is traveling in a custom -made insulated crate aboard a New Zealand fisheries vessel bound for polar waters. The penguin is also traveling with his own medical team from the Wellington Zoo.

Happy Feet is also outfitted with a GPS so handlers can monitor his progress. The idea is for him to bump into some penguins he recognizes and swim happily ever after. And what a story he has to tell them...

Wait? Maybe that's a movie....
