New Zealand Department of Conservation spokesman Peter Simpson said the penguin, which is used to sub-zero temperatures, was eating sand in an apparent bid to cool down. Emperor Penguins in the Antarctic eat snow when they get too hot. "It was eating sand and small sticks, it was standing up then lying down and attempting to regurgitate the sand."

Wellington Zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker said an X-ray of the stranded Emperor Penguin had showed a lot of sand in his throat and stomach. "It's still touch and go," she told New Zealand Press Association of the penguin's condition.
