A ten-month-old emperor penguin got lost and ended up on a New Zealand beach, far from her home in New Zealand. She (or he — experts aren’t sure yet) began eating sand — perhaps mistaking it for snow — and pieces of wood, and got increasingly sick and unhappy. Luckily, rescue workers took the penguin, nicknamed Happy Feet, to a local zoo, where she can get medical care and rehabilitation. Get well, Feet!
