Looks like Happy Feet is now shark poop

Who knows? Radio collars fail regularly. We once spent two weeks looking for a bear we were sure had been poached. The signal came from a BIG patch of blackberries (NOT the thornless kind). Collars are expensive, so we had to get it. We thought someone had shot the bear and threw the collar in there (poachers often get REAL stupid and hang the collars in their garage).

Anyway, the girl helping me happened to look up and found it hanging on a telephone pole. We can only figure it started to itch and the bear climbed up to scratch. He caught it on a foot peg and just slipped out. We knew he hadn't been poached 'cuz we caught him twice more that summer.

We lost maybe 1/3 of our collars the first week and the biologist putting them on was the state Bear Coordinator==said he had lot's of experience!
 
OK, think about this for a minute. Here is a penguin that is so stupid that he ends up thousands of miles from home. On top of that, he is such a genius in the penguin world that after he washes up on a beach and decides the sand is going to be his next meal!

Oh wait, the experts tell us he thought it was snow. How do they know what he was thinking, they have Dr. Doolittle on staff and he talked to the penguin!?!?

So a few medical procedures later, at least that is what they called flushing him (it?) out, getting some IV fluids and I am sure a boat load of penguin gruel, off he goes. And not to willingly from what I saw. If Dr Doolittle were there I am sure he would have said the penguin was saying "please, no, don't make me go back".

Now he is possibly lost again. For all we know his next port of call may be Bayonne, New Jersey.

Now think about this. Is this really the type of penguin you want to propagate the species? I am telling you, it is a blessing in disguise if he is gone. He could lead to a whole new sub-species of flightless birds who's main purpose in life is to follow the ocean currents and land on foreign shores just so they can be given housing, food and medical attention.

Sounds like a problem that is already taking place around the globe with another species!

:D :D :D

Bob R said it so well, but I think believe that it is just mother nature's way of thinning the herd!
 
It would seem the New Zealand just isn't going to put up with illegal aliens.
The penguin will probably show up in Arizona next.
