This is unusual, but awesome! Two professional snipers have been employed by the the National Parks and Wildlife Service to guard a colony of 120 penguins in Manly. Nine of the sweet little fairy penguin have been mauled to death in the last few weeks, most likely by a fox or perhaps a dog, so the snipers are an added measure of protection for the cute little critters. I'm glad we're doing everything we can to protect them :)
