Ahem, I hate to be the bearer of bad news folks – but Happy Feet, the juvenile penguin that lost it’s way and ended up in New Zealand may have met an untimely end in the belly of a shark.
Nursed back to health and released back into the sea with a tracking device attached to his back to monitor his progress, Happy Feet (as he was nicknamed) has not been heard of since Friday.
This could mean that the little fella has been eaten by a predator or the tracking device has developed a fault (perhaps being knocked out by a solar flare?) or has fallen off (it needs to be out of the water for it’s signal to be detected)
Either way, it’s not good news for those wanting to know that Happy Feet had made his way home
