A rare penguin that turned up on a Dunedin beach last month is preparing to go back home to Antarctica.

The Dunedin Wildlife Hospital and the Department of Conservation are currently working on a release plan for the Adélie penguin.

She was “not overly fond” of humans but rather than running away, “she chooses to fight and will often charge our team while yelling what we can only imagine are expletives in penguin”.

    The Antarctic Treaty requires penguins to find their own way home.

    I didn’t realise we had a treaty with the penguins!
