Australia's Oldest Man Knits Tiny Sweaters For Penguins Injured In Oil Spills

This is important people! - and adorable - and actually important

This is important people! - and adorable - and actually important

The sweaters are for penguins that get caught in an oil spill. The sweaters help keep them from ingesting oil that's on their feathers and help keep them toasty warm because the oil matts their feathers making it hard for them to regulate their body temperature.

What a great program! Thanks for posting. I was all set to volunteer to knit sweaters 'til I got to the end of the article and it says they have all the sweaters they need.
Thanks for this!

It's good to know that you can still contribute to the community no matter your age. Those penguins look nice and toasty in their new outfits.
