An Australian family was enjoying a day at the beach in early November when a penguin walked across the sand. Jazz Bailey caught a video of the emperor penguin who somehow made its way more than 2,000 miles from its home in Antarctica. “The interaction was breathtaking and surreal. I can’t even imagine the journey it had been on,” Jazz shared on Facebook.

She explained on Facebook. She keeps the numbers handy in case she ever comes across an animal in need. Jazz said she and her children interacted with the penguin while on the beach in Denmark, Australia, but didn’t get too close. “It actually came towards us for a closer look for around ten minutes before deciding to head off its own way. We were asked to keep the news on the down low until the sea bird rescue team could come and help. Too many humans could have made it stressful for the poor thing. These emperor penguins only live in Antarctica and they are the largest penguins in the world. We couldn’t believe our eyes,” Jazz wrote. Once rehabilitated, the pending will be released into the wild and hopefully return home from Australia. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
