Adélie penguin makes 3000 km journey to New Zealand

Due to climate change or pollution, a rare Adélie penguin swims 3000 kilometers from Antarctica to New Zealand. Experts are saying its a worrisome situation for the marine life. CHRISTCHURCH, SOUTH ISLAND - For the third time a rare specie of penguins, Adélie penguin makes its way from Antarctica to shores of New Zealand. He swims around 1900 miles from his hometown. The juvenile male Adèlie, affectionately nicknamed ''Pingu'' by locals, reached Bridlings Flat Beach near Christchurch on Wednesday night. Seems like he came to find some food and warmth. Adèlie, a rare penguin specie only found at the coasts of Antarctica, more likely lost its way home to new Zealand. This critically endangered specie is on the verge of extinction by 2060. https://twitter.com/LewisPughFDN/stat...
