Christchurch's International Antarctic Centre has a brave new penguin - Matiu.
The juvenile penguin is originally from Matiu Somes Island, but swam all the way to Kaikoura where he was injured in a dog attack.
The Centre's staff shortlisted three names for their new friend - then conducted a Facebook poll to choose the favourite.
David Kennedy - the centre's general manager - says Matiu is adapting nicely to his new habitat.
Kennedy spoke to Corin Dann.
