Follow the incredible journey of Happy Feet, the penguin who became one of the biggest news stories of 2011. On 21 June 2011 a lonely emperor penguin stepped onto Peka Peka beach and into the hearts of the world. He had swum further from his home in Antarctica than any emperor penguin ever recorded.
What did he think of the strange place he had come to? What did he think of the people he met? Why did he eat all that sand and get so sick? And how did he feel when it was finally time to go home?
By the time he left New Zealand Happy Feet was the world’s most famous penguin.
This is his story.
