PENGUINS from Torquay are among the animals who were killed in deadly floods which swept through a Georgia zoo, it has been revealed.
Living Coasts sent 19 penguins to the flood-hit Eastern European Tbilisi Zoo last summer.
And one of the lost penguins has now reportedly been found safe after swimming 40 miles to neighbouring Azerbaijan. But most of them are believed to have been killed in the disaster which so far has claimed 13 lives and more than half of the 600 animals.
Living Coasts representative Phil Knowling has confirmed that 19 penguins were sent to Georgia just last year.
