Wild Movies – Wildlife Rescue NZ – Penguin Tsunami: CANCELLED

Wildlife Rescue New Zealand – Penguin Tsunami.

It’s early summer in southern New Zealand, and the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital has been inundated with wave after wave of starving penguin chicks.

Dr Lisa Argilla and her team pull out all the stops to save the hungry little birds. Add to this a clutch of endangered kākā chicks that need round-the-clock care, and a kiwi that’s refusing to eat; the results are bedlam, and the hospital is stretched to its limits.

Meanwhile, out on the Otago coast, Pete investigates the arrival of a rare leopard seal, and Rosalie helps get an ex-patient back into the wild.

Part of the Wild Dunedin Film Festival, and with thanks to NHNZ.
