Two Muriwai kororā rescued from nesting box buried by mud slip

One of the kororā which was rescued after its nesting box was completely buried by a mud slip. Photo: Muriwai Environmental Trust Two kororā whose nesting box was buried by a mud slip at Auckland's Muriwai have been rescued, cared for and relocated to a safer site. In a social media post, the Muriwai Environmental Trust said its penguin team discovered the nesting box which had been completely buried by mud over the weekend. Only a small beak was visible, but thanks to quick action both little blue penguins were found alive, it said. The kororā were gently cleaned and relocated to a safer site. Photo: Muriwai Environmental Trust The pair were checked and gently cleaned before being located to a safer site with new housing so they could continue their breeding season, it said. The trust said the volunteers were trained to handle situations such as this but anyone who came across a penguin in distress should contact the Muriwai rangers or call 0800 DOC HOT, rather than trying to intervene directly. It was the penguin's breeding season and people in the Muriwai area should keep their dogs north of the Surf Tower, it said.

Mountain lion bites 4-year-old on popular olympic national park trail, injuring child

A mountain lion bit a 4-year-old who was walking with their family over the weekend on a popular trail in Olympic National Park in Washington state, park officials said Monday. The child was injured during Sunday's attack and flown to a trauma center in Seattle for treatment, according to a statement from the National Park Service. The attack by a mountain lion fitted with a tracking collar was near an overlook on Hurricane Ridge, a popular mountain area with expansive views. The attack was reported to rangers around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, and paramedics and park staff traveled to the injured child, according to the National Park Service. Rangers immediately started searching for the cougar, and by Monday, park staff had dispatched the animal, the statement said, using a term that generally refers to killing an animal. There are no current threats to the public, the statement said. Officials said they would not be releasing any identifying information about the child to protect their identity.
