  • can some overly sensitive people shut the hell up. The ocean IS ITS HOME. It no diferent releasing a Cheetah back into the African Woodland, a chimp into the rainforest, a Kangaroo into the Australian outback although some of these places are considered big, vast yet harsh enviroments to people- this is no different. Some of the overly sensitive idiots on here are the ones that think Pengins should be a house hold pet living in thier swimming pools in the middle of summer.

  • Haha foreigners never want to leave!

see all

  • did u guys see the whale after they pushed him

  • :( its sad really to see that happy frrt did not want to go and they just push him!! he obviously didnt wanna go into the water poor poor happy feet :,( he could get eaten!!! what a stupid idea letting him go y cant they look after him and keep him at the zoo???!!!

  • omg this shit is real

  • Tracking device is gone, nobody knows where he is. Did it fall off? Was he eaten? Did he die? We will never know, and now I wish they brought him further. It just doesn't sit right with me to go through all that trouble to heal him and bring him that far only to dump him overboard in the middle of nowhere.

  • happy feet nek minute happy meal

  • stupid humans...

    you have no clue about evolution on this planet

    stop interfering! ffs

    /watch?v=zSAMz6m_BX8

    go save a zebra or an orca or a panda or something, you horrible racist human black and white only seeing race who fucking actually tagged me with a tracking device. what kind of futuristic obama hitler shiite is this? humans are crazy. confirmed.

  • 2000 km. It's so far

    hope to be safe ! poor penguin ! -_-

  • right into a wihte shark's mouth....oleeeeee lol

  • Suicide mission Man! They just let it goes in the middle of the ocean 2000 km far from South Pole! Now that penguin would be lost in direction again or eaten by a shark since the latest new said it was last in signal... You guys are so brilliant (in the video), heal it and let it die in the middle of the sea. Why don't u just pet it in the zoo or send it directly to south pole!!!!!

  • Happy Feet is eaten up and that is why he is moving slowly and in the wrong direction!!!
