Knit for nature

The winning sweaters of a knitting competition on penguin cuddly toys launched by the Penguin Foundation in Phillip Island, Australia, March 2014. Knitted penguin jumpers play an important role in saving little penguins affected by oil pollution. A patch of oil the size of a thumb nail can kill a little penguin. Oiled penguins often die from exposure and starvation. Oil separates and mats feathers, allowing water to get in which makes a penguin very cold, heavy and less able to successfully hunt for food. The foundation launched the program "Knit for nature" appealing people to knit sweaters for the penguins. [Photo/icpress.cn]
