Manly penguins get sniper bodyguard
July 14th, 2009
Snipers will stand guard over Sydney’s endangered penguins until vicious attacks on them stop, wildlife experts say.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service has employed marksmen to protect the colony of about 120 little penguins at Manly and North Head for “as long as necessary”.
Nine of the penguins have been mauled to death on the area’s beaches in the past fortnight, the most recent at Quarantine Beach on Saturday.
It is believed foxes or dogs are responsible.
