EtIndonesia. Sebuah keluarga di Kota Denmark, Australia Barat, mengalami kejadian yang tak terlupakan ketika seekor penguin kaisar, yang berasal dari Antartika, berjalan terhuyung-huyung ke pantai yang populer.
Terekam dalam video oleh peselancar lokal Aaron Fowler, penguin itu tampak tidak terganggu oleh lingkungannya yang tidak biasa—lebih dari 2.200 mil dari habitatnya yang dingin di Antartika.
@abc7chicago An Australian family had an unusual encounter at the beach recently, when they came across an emperor penguin that was a very long way from its home in Antarctica. According to the ABC, the penguin had traveled some 3,400 kilometers (2,100 miles) from Antarctica to the beach in Denmark, Western Australia. It was the northernmost sighting of the species ever recorded – to the bafflement of scientists. Jazz Bailey, who recorded her family’s encounter with the bird, told Storyful that a friend of hers first spotted the penguin, and then she and her children decided to head to Ocean Beach to see if they could find it. “Off we went to see if we were lucky enough to meet the special visitor. Sure enough, there it was just waddling along the sand, seeming a little lost but so very chill and inquisitive of us,” Bailey wrote on Facebook. “The interaction was breathtaking and surreal. I can’t even imagine the journey it had been on,” she said. Australian media reported that the penguin, named Gus, is now being looked after by Carol Biddulph, a registered wildlife carer. #news #australia #penguin ♬ original sound – abc7chicago
“Ia berdiri di tengah ombak dan berjalan terhuyung-huyung ke arah kami,” katanya kepada ABC News. “Seekor penguin kaisar, mungkin tingginya sekitar satu meter, dan dia sama sekali tidak malu.”
Ini menandai pertama kalinya seekor penguin kaisar dilaporkan di Australia, menurut Departemen Keanekaragaman Hayati, Konservasi, dan Daya Tarik Australia Barat.
Departemen tersebut telah merawat penguin itu dan berupaya menentukan tindakan terbaik untuk kesehatan dan keselamatannya. (yn)
