A young emperor penguin, normally found in the Antarctic, has turned up on a New Zealand beach, BBC reported. It is the first confirmed sighting of an emperor penguin in New Zealand in 44 years.

The bird is a juvenile, about 10 months old and 80 centimeters tall.

Emperor penguins are the tallest and largest of all penguin species, growing up to 122 centimeters high and weighing more than 34 kilograms.

Penguin expert Colin Miskelly said the bird may have been searching for squid and krill when it took a wrong turn and just kept going north and arrived on New Zealand's North Island.（点击英国广播公司网站查看原文）

迷路帝企鹅造访新西兰

       据英国广播公司报道，一只通常南极洲才有的年轻帝企鹅近日出现在了新西兰海滩，这是44年来第一次有帝企鹅在新西兰现身。

       这只企鹅尚未成年，约10个月大，80厘米高。

       据悉，帝企鹅是最高大的企鹅，可以长到122厘米高，重量可超过34公斤。

       企鹅专家米斯凯利表示，它很可能是在追逐乌贼和磷虾时拐错了弯，才一路向北到达了新西兰北岛。
