A lost penguin ended up swimming onto the coast of Peru. The Magellanic penguin apparently got lost during his search for food.

Officials at Peru's National Resource Institute say the penguin swam about 3,100 miles north of his home in southern Chile. He apparently suffered an injury to his right wing.

Authorities are working with Chilean officials to return the penguin to his home.

Scientists think that the penguin became disoriented and that caused him to become lost because of different ocean currents.
