Скачать или смотреть Meet Jasmin our new southern rockhopper penguin

We've adopted!

Jasmin is a young southern rockhopper penguin that was stranded near Plettenberg Bay. Southern rockhoppers originate from many parts of the world but Jasmin is most likely a member of the eastern rockhopper subspecies which has colonies on Marion and Prince Edward Islands about 2 000km off the South African coast. Because Jasmin was exposed to unfamiliar pathogens in our mainland waters, returning her to the Prince Edward Islands would pose a significant risk to the native birdlife there.

We would like to thank Tenikwa Wildlife for the care they took in saving the life of this precious birds, and SANCCOB who, once again, has been of incredible service to the Two Oceans Aquarium by quarantining the new penguins and ensuring that both them and the penguins already at the Aquarium remain in ideal health.
