Penguins fall prey to bees

Dead bees were also found among the penguins. “It is a very rare occurrence. We do not assume that something like this happens often, it was a coincidence, ”Roberts told the AFP news agency on Sunday.

The African penguins belonged to a colony in Simonstown, a small town near Cape Town. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the birds on the Red List as critically endangered.
