Durban - African penguins, Admiral Paul, Baroness Jennifer and Captain Jack Sparrow, were flown to Port Elizabeth where they were released into the ocean on Wednesday.The South African Association for Marine Biological Research said the penguins had spent approximately two months in their care after being found stranded on various beaches in KZN.
“Whilst in our care they gained weight, regained their strength and completed their waterproofing. After their mandatory blood tests came back normal they were given the green light for release and we once again turned to the Bateleurs for assistance,” Saambr said. “Although we cannot say with certainty that the penguins originally came from PE there is a strong possibility that their home range is in the vicinity of Bird Island. Greg Hofmeyer from Bayworld kindly offered to release the penguins at Cape Recife once they arrived in PE,” said Saambr.
