Bodies of more than 100 little penguins found dumped near beach in mystery discovery

Bodies of 100 of the world’s smallest species of penguin have been found dumped in a pile in a mysterious find.

A resident of Cable Bay, in the far north of New Zealand, had initially brushed off the smell of the penguins as being attributable to a dead possum.

But Pauline Wilson said that the smell kept getting worse and neighbours eventually began looking for the source of the stench.
