  • What killed 63 penguins in South Africa? Conservationists needed to find out. When the penguins were found dead in their beach colony, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds performed autopsies to get to the bottom of it. Upon closer look, their cause of death was relatively easy to find. Researchers say the penguins were all found to have been stung by bees. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

    This is NOT a case of “bad luck.” One penguin, maybe. 63 is impossible. The bees chose an attack. Why is the question for scientists. Thorough evaluations of the dead bees, as well as watching the behavior with cameras, should help. It is possible the bees have had a form of chemical induced “bee psychosis,” for example. That’s in quotes because I am making it up, not because it is a scientifically validated phenomenon. But you get the idea. Please search on for the cause.

    The only way this makes sense to me is if a penguin or a few of them found the bees nest and knocked it around or somehow the bees were trained and the penguins were a test (doubtful) . Idk, there’s no way the bees just attacked 60+ penguins for no reason.

    Guys don’t worry it was just a turf war the bees wanted to expand their turf and the penguins weren’t giving up their turf for the bees

    “Researchers say this isn’t a cause for future concern.”
    But then everything changed when the penguin nation attacked.
