The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn't seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.

　　The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.

　　Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice­filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.

　　“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea，” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand's Department of Conservation. “What happens now is up to the penguin.”

　　Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter (信号发射器) so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
