<p>The only emperor penguin known to have swum from Antarctica to Australia was released at sea 20 days after he waddled ashore on a popular tourist beach, officials said Friday.</p>
<p>The adult male, named &lsquo;Gus&rsquo; by his caregivers, was found on November 1 on Ocean Beach sand dunes in the town of Denmark in temperate southwest Australia&mdash;about 3,500 km north of the icy waters off the Antarctic coast.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He was released from a Parks and Wildlife Service boat on Wednesday. The boat traveled for several hours from the city of Albany before Gus was released into the ocean.</p>
