Watch: Denver Zoo staff help hand-rear penguins from 500 abandoned eggs in South Africa
Two Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance staffers travel to SANCCOB in South Africa to help raise penguins from abandoned eggs and release about 100 birds. Embedded from the zoo’s channel.
Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance’s field-conservation video ‘Saving Wild Penguins Together’ follows two zoo staffers to SANCCOB in South Africa, where they help hand-rear penguins from more than 500 abandoned eggs and release roughly 100 birds back to the wild. The zoo published it alongside an Aug. 20, 2026 Zoo Tales post. It is a good ‘why conservation matters’ piece for kids who have seen the penguins in Denver.
