Health and environment officials suspect that the penguin went looking for food in Antarctica, got lost and ended up swimming an extra 2,000 miles until it landed in New Zealand. and not too smart. Veterinarians and conservation officials became concerned with the penguin's health after seeing it eat sand and small sticks of driftwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Wildlife officials said Wednesday they will not bring the penguin back to Antarctica as it could bring infections with it, and there is no transport available.

DC Tom Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wildlife officials said Wednesday they will not bring the penguin back to Antarctica as it could bring infections with it, and there is no transport available. No one in New Zealand has a boat or a plane? But it's not just a penguin...they have to transport the five film crews from Discovery Network and National Geographic, and all their equipment, and half a dozen different zoologists and ornithologists whose careers hinge on studying the poor beastie, and at least two vets to monitor the bird's health. And THEN provide support for several months (i.e. food shipments and such) while the film crews film the penguin's miraculous return to the blissful Eden that is Antarctica, where it recovers from its trials and tribulations and rediscovers its most basic humanity that is central to the existence of any well-adjusted penguin. Then, if we're really lucky, the little bastard gets nailed by a sea lion. God damned ice rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Tom, you forgot some essentials for the expedition, to whit: cards, bourbon, cigars, viagra, smut mags, textured condoms, and the half ton of sardines the noble scientists will force feed the little darling with during the long, long trip "home". The only ending more apt than the one you describe would be to have its ultimate demise - caused by its inability to find and eat its own food - captured forever on digital media. ::Somber shot of sleet raking the emaciated remains of the saga's little hero.

Nanker Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 but it wasn't supposed to end that way I know, but they already finished filming this so, clearly there was no alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
