The Magellanic penguin, which lives in a cold climate in southern Chile, has fled to Peru after a trip of thousands of kilometers.

He is a resident of the Strait of Magellan, Chile, who has traveled a long distance to Peru's Paracas national reserve. Scientists say the bird seems to be independent on a thousand-mile trip.

Scientists fear that the single-penguin penguin will not be accepted by about 4,000 Humboldt penguins in the reserve. Biologist David Orosco told AFP that local penguins will try to eliminate the Magellanic penguin.

Mr. Orosco said: "The conditions in the national park are not suitable for the lost penguin. The penguins here often make friends with the same kind, so the Magellanic penguin will face discrimination. .

After a long trip, the penguin just suffered a small wound on the wing. Orosco said it will contact colleagues in Chile. He said: "That penguin is best to go back to Chile."
