The emperor penguin was found on an Australian beach near the coastal town of Denmark, more than 2,200 miles from its Antarctic habitat.

Rescuers are trying to rehabilitate an emperor penguin that came ashore some 2,000 miles from its natural habitat, and what comes next is "still being worked through."

An emperor penguin found malnourished far from its Antarctic home on the Australian south coast is being cared for by a wildlife expert, a government department said Monday.
