Protect birds with sniper rifles

Two professional snipers have been sent to a national park in Australia to protect the first penguin population here. This happened after many penguin bodies were discovered in the national park.

The first Australian penguin carcasses were discovered on Manly coast, near Sydney harbor. Their blood is scattered in the sand. A few days later, the mysterious assassin came out with penguins at some cliffs near Manly Beach, located in New South Wales National Park.

Based on blood stains and DNA analysis results, police sketched out the basic characteristics of secret assassins that were fast and hairy. The total number of penguins killed in two places is 9. Expert assassins can be foxes, jackals or both.

After the investigations, officials removed people from the suspect list, because of the bite on the penguin's body and blood streaks that showed that the assassin could be a fox. This animal often latches on to its prey and runs. While running they will shake their prey until it dies. Therefore the blood of penguins scattered everywhere.

However, some experts believe that, with a height of 43 cm, the Australian penguin is not a suitable prey for foxes or dogs. About 30 volunteers took turns guarding the night to protect the birds. The staff of the New South Wales National Park also put fox traps, but none of them were trapped.

Before that situation, officials sent two snipers to sniper to New South Wales National Park to protect the first penguin. They will patrol the night and be allowed to shoot animals that kill birds.

The first penguin ( Eudyptula minor ) is the smallest penguin on the planet, living near the coast in New Zealand and southern Australia. They have many names, of which the most common names are small penguins. New Zealanders call them blue-backed penguins because their back feathers are blue-green.
