Stranded New Zealand penguin goes for first swim

kabc
By ABC7
WELLINGTON, New Zealand

"Happy Feet," named from the 2006 animated movie, took his first dip in a saltwater pool at the Wellington Zoo.

Zoo operators say it took a little coaxing, but once he got in, he had a blast.

The penguin has been at the zoo for several weeks recovering from medical procedures to flush sand and debris from his stomach.
