{A partially}-sighted penguin at a hen park has discovered a “information hen” in one in every of her mates.
Squid, an African penguin primarily based at Birdworld in Farnham, Surrey, developed cataracts as a chick.
Her buddy, named Penguin, steers Squid round their enclosure, serving to when she will get disorientated at feeding time.
Polly Bramham, from Birdworld, mentioned: “The two developed this friendship from a young age and he or she has learnt to comply with him at feeding time.
“They aren’t but mature however penguins do are inclined to pair for all times. Whether they grow to be a pair themselves, we must see however they’re suitable as mates.”
