Neglected Ducks Swim for the First Time

October 8th, 2012 No comments

Looks like every one of those birds took to that pond…like a duck to water.

For the first time in their lives two dozen recently rescued ducks get their first taste of life in a pond. They had been living for years with a hoarder who had them in pens without adequate access to water or proper nutrition.

For more on this heartfelt story head over to the Woodstock Sanctuary, where you can donate to their cause too.

Wetsuit Helps a Balding Penguin Keep Warm

April 5th, 2011 No comments

This little featherless Humboldt penguin was given a special wetsuit so it can fit in with its friends. Looks like someone’s jealous…

A featherless Humboldt penguinin a wetsuit walks past king penguins in the enclosure at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore on April 4. The 10-year-old penguin has been experiencing continued feather loss since 2010 and is being treated with customised wetsuits. The suit acts like a natural feather covering, providing warmth and insulation which also helps new feathers grow and prevents moulting.

Baby Otters Learn How To Swim

November 9th, 2010 No comments

 That is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Those little birds chirping sounds they make are way cutetastic!

Two baby otters at Longleat are being taught to swim in a paddling pool – by the keeper they think is their mum.

Deputy Head of Section at Animal Adventure, Beverley Allen, is rearing the infants and has bottle-fed the cute pair since they were born.

The pair, named Sumalee and Kasem, are now being taught to swim ready to return to their birth parents. As Beverley explained “I started off putting them in the sink with a little bit of water when they were about nine weeks old. Then they progressed to my bath, where I could make the water a bit deeper to let them practice their breathing. Now they’re splashing around quite happily in a paddling pool, with a few toys to encourage them to play.”
