A Little Penguin was recently released back into the wild in North Steyne Beach in Sydney, New South Wales, after weeks of rehabilitation.

According to staff at Taronga Conservation Society Australia, Pixel the little penguin, whose sex hasn’t yet been determined, was found by a member of the public at Manly Beach on February 9. An initial assessment found that the penguin was “young and in poor body condition.”

Pixel was treated at specialized marine wildlife rehabilitation facilities, where with “supportive care, proper nutrition and time to regain strength, the penguin improved and was eventually cleared for release,” the society said.

This slow-motion footage shows Pixel being returned to the ocean at North Steyne Beach, the society said.
