Cornish sardines back on menu for penguins
Penguins at a Cornwall wildlife park are now eating locally caught sardines after a chance conversation led to a new partnership with a local fisherman. The penguins previously had imported fish but now get sardines just 10 miles away. The change supports local fishing and reduces transportation needs.
