Researchers in Chile have developed red vests infused with copper and zinc to help injured Humboldt penguins heal faster. The vests, initially used on dogs and cats, are adapted for the marine birds. Five penguins in rehabilitation are currently wearing the vests, showing promising results. This initiative comes amidst concerns over a 63% drop in active nests and threats like entanglement in fishing nets, plastic pollution, and El Niño-related issues.
