Endangered Penguins Get Help

There is a special bird colony. People care for African penguins there. They take care of about 3,500 penguins. These birds are endangered.

A doctor explains why. First, people take their eggs. They also take their poop to use for other things. Second, the penguins like to eat only two types of fish. Fishing and the weather change where the fish live. There are fewer of these fish now.  The penguins have less food to eat.

At a penguin colony, people care for about 3,500 African penguins. People have brought 700 penguins to the colony for rehabilitation since the birds are endangered.

One doctor said that the penguins first became endangered because people were taking their guano and eggs, and now they are endangered because they do not have enough food. The fish that they eat are affected by fishing and changes in the climate.

Luckily, the penguin population is growing back because of the extra care that people are giving the birds.

Hundreds of people came to see penguins at the beach! People had to rescue them because they were looking for different places to live to get away from people wanting to see them.
At the Boulders Penguin Colony, people care for roughly 3,500 African penguins. People have brought 700 African penguins to the colony for rehabilitation as the birds are endangered.

A doctor said that the penguins first became endangered due to guano harvesting and egg collecting, and they continue to suffer from a lack of food. They mainly eat sardines and anchovies which are affected by fishing and climate variation.

Luckily, the penguin population has grown because of the extra care that people are giving the birds.
