Fourteen Humboldt penguins had to make an international voyage across land and sea, from the Isle of Man to Northern Ireland. It should have been a short trip across the Irish Sea, but due to coronavirus travel restrictions the birds had to make an epic 17-hour-long trek through England and Scotland. The park's manager said it was a " miracle" the move had gone to plan and that " it was a great team effort. " The move was part of a European breeding programme for endangered animals. The penguins had to be loaded into a temperature-controlled van and taken by ferry to England, before being driven to Scotland for another sailing across to Belfast. The site's managing director Kieran Quinn said the birds were " settling in and feeding well" and had already created a " buzz around the town".
