Cape Gannets, cormorants, and penguins at the SAMREC center. These birds were found starving or slicked with oil and are rehabilitated in PE before being re-released into the wild. There were also about thirty rescued chicks who were half the size they should have been. The areas around PE are over-fished and the water is warming (possibly due to effects of climate change), so the adult penguins must swim about 65 km to find food and the food is fully digested before they can get back and feed the chicks. African penguins are endangered. |
Nice dance along the beach! Good pics. Good to have them.
