Surprised Australia's surfers: Imperial Penguin set a world record

According to scientists, the young penguin followed the currents where there is a lot of food, and it was they who helped him get another continent. Imperial penguin surprised surfing in Australia after having overcome 2100 miles (3400 km) from his home in Antarctica-this is the longest journey ever registered for this species. About it writes Daily Mail. Surfing Aaron Fowler was on the beach with a friend and children when he noticed the imperial penguin.

"It was something enormous, it was much larger than the bird, and he had a tail stuck out like ducks. We thought it came out of the water," the man said. He clarified that when he came out of the water, the penguin tried to slide on his stomach, thinking that it was snow, and just slipped his face in the sand. Experts believe that the imperial penguin arrived in Australia from Antarctica, which is 3400 kilometers. "The penguins that the observations have never reached so far away.

Finding to the north they go from Antarctica by about 50 degrees southern latitude. And the Ouchen Beach beach is 35 degrees south, that is, much north than ever these birds were ever. Earlier, " - said the researcher of Western Australia Belinda Kannell. Although the nature of the trip of this penguin remains unclear, Cannell believes that he probably sailed downstream. "This young man is less than a year and they are usually in the sea for about three to five years.

And then they return to their ancestral colony when they begin to multiply. Penguins tend to monitor certain currents where many different species Food. So, these trends may just be a little further north to Australia than usual, "Kannell emphasized. Now the penguin-traveler is supervised by the guardians of wild animals. It is unknown whether he will remain in Australia, whether he returns home to Antarctica.
