Sydney. An example of how climate change is affecting living beings has been seen in Australia. Penguins, found in the icy areas of remote Antarctica, were found for the first time about 3500 km away from there. Has been seen on a beach in distant Australia. That penguin had become malnourished during such a long journey. This penguin was found on a beach in Western Australia. According to a statement from Australia’s Department of Biodiversity and Conservation, it is now in the care of a trained and registered local wildlife carer.
It is expected to take a few weeks to send this penguin back to its habitat. The coast of Australia where the penguin was found is more than 3,540 kilometers north of Antarctica. Which shows that the penguin had swam a long distance to reach Australia. According to a scientist from the University of Western Australia, penguins can reach Antarctica by swimming northwards with the help of a current. Penguins do this anyway with the help of some currents. Where they get many different types of food.
This scientist believes that perhaps those currents have moved a little further north towards Australia than normal. While a local surfer shared his experience and recalled the moment when he saw the penguin. The surfer said it was huge, much bigger than a sea bird and we were wondering what was this thing coming out of the water? Its tail was sticking out like a duck. It stood up in the waves and came straight towards us. This was a king penguin probably about a meter tall, and he was not at all shy.

The surfer said he tried to slide on his stomach, he thought it was snow, and just stuck his face in the sand and stood up and shook off all the sand. Emperor penguins are the largest and heaviest of all penguin species, growing up to 45 inches tall and weighing up to 88 pounds. They are found only in Antarctica. Where they depend on sea ice for reproduction and protection. However, they face increasing threats from climate change as rising temperatures threaten their icy habitats.
