“A penguin from Auckland’s Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium has become the first of its kind to undergo cataract surgery in New Zealand. Cardi, a seven-year-old gentoo penguin, underwent the surgery on April 29, after developing vision-blocking cataracts in both eyes…..
Since her recovery, the sea life team have noticed a change in Cardi’s confidence. “She no longer displays a hunched posture and is much more interactive with other penguins, keepers and enrichment items,” said Wardrop.”
