Elderly penguins have successfully had cataract operations and news lenses fitted in a “world first”.
The six penguins now appear to be more “active” and with a bounce in their step since the surgery at Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park.
Three king penguins aged 20 and older along with three Humboldt, between seven and 13 in age, had operations to remove cataracts, said vets from the Mandai Wildlife Group who have been looking after them.
