They&#8217;re social birds and he stands next to the mirror most of the time,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Gus gained weight in her care, from 47 pounds when he was found to 54 pounds. He is 39 inches tall. A healthy male emperor penguin can weigh more than 100 pounds. <\/p>\n<p>The largest penguin species has never been reported in Australia before, University of Western Australia research fellow Belinda Cannell said, though some had reached New Zealand, nearly all of which is farther south than Western Australia. <\/p>\n<p>The government said that with the Southern Hemisphere summer approaching, it had been time-crucial to return Gus to the ocean where he could thermoregulate. <\/p>\n<p>Emperor penguins have been known to cover up to 1,000 miles on foraging journeys that last up to a month, the government said.<\/p>\n<p>They are among the species directly threatened by the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rising temperature of the oceans and seas across the world<\/a><\/span>.
