Penguins hop, skip and waddle their way to freedom
While 10 rehabilitated African penguins made a beeline for the ocean on Lookout Beach on last weekend, one had some reservations and had to be persuaded to leave their enclosure. The Nature’s Valley Trust (NVT), along with Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation and Awareness Centre and Birdlife SA, released 11 penguins on the popular Plettenberg Bay beach. The marine birds had washed up on beaches along the Garden Route in recent months and taken to Tenikwa where they were nursed back to health before the release.
