A group of penguins have been given sand-sculpture friends in a bid
to console them after the departure of another group to whom they'd
become attached.Staff at Sea Life Weymouth say their 11 Humboldt penguins recently became friends with a group of Gentoo penguins with which they were temporarily homed.
But when the other penguins moved on to an aquarium in London the penguins became lonely, so bosses called in a artist to create penguin sculptures to keep them friends.
While staff say the nine sand-based Gentoo penguin created by Mark Anderson seem to be doing the trick and that the birds have stopped moping around, we think they'd have to be bird-brained to think they could be real…
Sea Life boss Craig Dunkerley said: "We really appreciated Mark's
gesture," said and whether or not our Humboldt's are fooled by the
incredibly lifelike sculptures, they certainly seem to have perked up."Source
