Little Penguins On Display In Manly Penguin Cove exhibit |
The popular tourist attraction in Manly, ‘Oceanworld Manly’,
is no more. It has been relaunched as ‘Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary’. As part of
the relaunch a new display called Penguin Cove has been created for the Little
Penguin, a species of Penguin found in Manly.
The brand new Penguin Cove exhibit captures the Little Penguins native environment, with sand, native grass and plants from the Manly area and a sandstone-like shelter emulating the Manly shore line.
Manly is one of the last mainland breeding colonies of Little Penguins in Australia and the exhibit provides a place where visitors can discover the species and their importance to the shores of Manly. While they can usually only be seen in the wild when they are nesting, the launch of Penguin Cove will allow visitors to see Little Penguins all year round.
