Scientists ready to release wayward penguin back into wild

The emperor penguin dubbed Happy Feet, who was found near death miles away from home on a New Zealand beach, is ready to return to cooler waters after being nursed back to health. Scientists are transporting the aquatic bird back to the Southern Ocean aboard a research vessel headed for the Campbell Islands. Happy Feet was fitted with a GPS tracking device to keep tabs on his future adventures.
