The emperor has no transport

Illegal immigration is not really an issue for New Zealand. Here in the U.S., we give the illegal immigrants we catch a free ride back to their home country. No such luck for one penguin.

A juvenile emperor penguin swam all the way to New Zealand, washing up on the shore and basically just hanging out. Luckily, New Zealanders don’t recognize the emperor’s authority over them, and refuse to give him a ride back to Antarctica. This basically means he’s going to die sometime in the next few weeks.

Well done, New Zealand! The penguin death pool is now open.
