109岁老人为企鹅织毛衣
Alfred Date is a 109-year-old Australian man who keeps busy by knitting sweaters for injured penguins. Australia’s oldest man. donates the little sweaters to a Phillip Island wildlife foundation. The organization uses the Knits for Nature program to rehabilitate penguins that have been injured from an oil spill. Oilcauses penguins to become cold and incapable of hunting. Sweaters are placed on the penguins to keep them warm and prevent them from preening and swallowing oil. The sweaters are a temporary solution until veterinarians can wash the birds.
阿尔弗雷德·戴特是一名109岁的澳大利亚老人，他一直忙碌着为受伤企鹅织毛衣。这位澳大利亚最长寿的老人为菲利浦岛野生动物基金会捐献小毛衣。在自然保护项目中，该组织用这些毛衣帮助漏油事件中受伤的企鹅尽快恢复。企鹅身上的油会让它们感到寒冷，并无法捕捉食物。穿上毛衣的企鹅能够防寒，并防止它们整理羽毛或是吸油。毛衣只是暂时性策略，之后兽医将对企鹅进行清洗。
