A young emperor penguin, normally found in the Antarctic, has turned up on a New Zealand beach, BBC reported. It is the first confirmed sighting of an emperor penguin in New Zealand in 44 years.

The bird is a juvenile, about 10 months old and 80 centimeters tall.

Emperor penguins are the tallest and largest of all penguin species, growing up to 122 centimeters high and weighing more than 34 kilograms.

Penguin expert Colin Miskelly said the bird may have been searching for squid and krill when it took a wrong turn and just kept going north and arrived on New Zealand's North Island.（點擊英國廣播公司網站查看原文）

?????? 這只企鵝尚未成年，約10個月大，80厘米高。

?????? 據悉，帝企鵝是最高大的企鵝，可以長到122厘米高，重量可超過34公斤。

?????? 企鵝專家米斯凱利表示，它很可能是在追逐烏賊和磷蝦時拐錯了彎，才一路向北到達了新西蘭北島。
