The BBC said 'Happy Feet' was dropped into the South Ocean waters from the morning 4-9 research ship Tangaroa, about 80km north of the southern Antarctic island of Campbell (New Zealand).

'Happy Feet' is lost to the beach Peka Peka, New Zealand on June 21. It was taken to the Wellington Zoo for care. The veterinarians here have operated on and removed from its stomach 3kg of sand.

Last week hundreds of people came to the Wellington Zoo to visit and bid farewell to this rare penguin.

According to information on Stuff.co.nz, 'Happy Feet' has been attached to satellites by scientists using satellite tracking to help them observe the journey back to its Antarctic homeland. 'Happy Feet' penguin - named after an animated film directed by George Miller with content about a lost penguin - has truly become a 'star' never forget about New Zealand country and people.
