Rescuers are trying to rehabilitate an emperor penguin that came ashore some 2,000 miles from its natural habitat, and what comes next is "still being worked through."

For the first time, an emperor penguin was found in Australia, having made the 2,200 mile swim from its home in Antarctica . The lone penguin was spotted at a popular beach in the town of Denmark earlier this month.

After washing up in Denmark on the southern coast of Australia after a 3,400km trip the penguin, given the name Gus, is being looked after by wildlife carers.
