Little Penguin - Sea World

Sea World

There is a colony of Little Penguins at Sea World, on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In early March, 2007, 25 of the 37 penguins died from an unknown toxin following a change of gravel in their enclosure. It is still not known what caused the deaths of the Little Penguins, and it was decided not to return the 12 surviving penguins to the same enclosure in which the penguins became ill.

A new enclosure for the Little Penguin colony was opened at Sea World in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or world:

    I, a spinning man,
    Glory also this star, bird
    Roared, sea born, man torn, blood blest.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Your sins have found you out, and now you must pay the price of all women like you. You have brought a child into this world against the commandment. Prayer is wasted on your sort. You should be cast out into the utter darkness ‘til you have learned your lesson. Michael Lewis do you admit your sin?... Then prepare to suffer your punishment.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
