[[File:King penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus-4932.jpg|thumb]]Penguins are a fascinating group of birds known for their cute waddling walk and distinctive black-and-white feathers. These remarkable birds are not just found in icy Antarctica; they also inhabit places like South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Penguins belong to a family of flightless birds called Spheniscidae.

These charming creatures are built for life in the water, with their wings adapted into flippers for efficient swimming. Penguins are expert divers and can spend a significant amount of time hunting for their favorite meals, such as fish and krill.

Living in large colonies, penguins are social beings that often engage in playful activities like sliding on ice and communicating through various sounds. Despite the cold environments they inhabit, penguins have developed special adaptations, such as a layer of insulating feathers and a unique heat exchange system, to thrive in their chilly surroundings.

Known for their strong sense of community and resilience, penguins have captured the hearts of people worldwide. Whether waddling on land or gracefully gliding through the water, these delightful birds continue to captivate with their charming antics and endearing personalities. Join us as we delve into the world of penguins, exploring their habitats, behaviors, and the extraordinary adaptations that make them truly remarkable.

The Public '''Attitudes Toward Trophy Hunting Report''' is a document published by [[Humane Society International]] (HSI) in June 2021. It presents the results of an online survey conducted by Savanta ComRes among 10,587 adults in five European countries (Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain) to understand their opinions on trophy hunting and the import of animal trophies to Europe.

Trophy hunting is the hunting of wild animals for pleasure and to obtain parts or all of its body for display as a trophy at home. The report shows that the majority of respondents in all five countries strongly or somewhat oppose trophy hunting of wild animals, whether they are found in Europe, Africa or internationally protected. The report also shows that the majority of respondents in all five countries agree that people should not be allowed to import trophies of dead animals from other countries.

The report aims to raise public awareness and end corporate support of trophy hunters’ interests, as well as to improve legal protections and encourage alternatives. HSI is a leading lobby and advocacy force for animal protection worldwide with active campaigns to protect wildlife, reduce and replace animal use in scientific research and product testing, to protect marine life, and to address the treatment of animals farmed for food, skins and fur.

=== '''Main findings:''' ===

* The majority of respondents (85% to 89%) opposed trophy hunting of wild animals, whether they were found in Europe, Africa or internationally protected.
* The majority of respondents (73% to 89%) also opposed the import of trophies of dead animals from other countries and supported a ban on such imports.
* Denmark had the highest proportion of respondents (16%) who supported the import of trophies, while Germany had the lowest (6%).
* Poland had the highest proportion of respondents (14%) who did not have an opinion on the import of trophies, while Italy had the lowest (6%).

Platinum Rhino

'''Platinum Rhino''' is a registered captive breeding organization in South Africa that has built up significant biological assets in the form of about 2,000 southern white rhinos.<ref name=":0">[https://www.savetherhino.org/africa/rhino-conservation-and-platinum-rhino/ Rhino conservation and Platinum Rhino] Save the Rhino</ref> It is home to over 16% of South Africa’s southern white [[Rhinoceros|rhino]] population and is considered the largest of its kind in the world.<ref>https://phys.org/news/2023-02-south-africa-largest-rhino-farm.html</ref> The organization was previously known as Buffalo Dream Ranch.<ref name=":0" />

In 2023 John Hume, Platinum Rhino's founder, put his 1,999 southern white rhinos up for auction as he could no longer afford the $9,800 a day running costs. However, no buyers have come forward so far.<ref name=":1">https://news.mongabay.com/2023/08/worlds-largest-private-rhino-herd-doesnt-have-a-buyer-or-much-of-a-future/</ref> The future of Platinum Rhino is uncertain due to its high running costs and concerns over rewilding captive-bred rhino.<ref name=":1" />

In September 2023, [[African Parks]], a non-profit conservation organization that manages 22 protected areas in Africa, announced that it had purchased Platinum Rhino. The organization plans to rewild these rhinos over the next 10 years to well-managed and secure areas, establishing or supplementing strategic populations of the near-threatened species.<ref>https://www.news5cleveland.com/2-000-white-rhinos-will-be-released-into-the-wild-over-the-next-decade News 5</ref>

The [[African Rhino Specialist Group]] (AfRSG) has developed a paper on the conservation contribution of the Platinum Rhino Southern white rhino captive breeding operation. The paper suggests that while the number of rhinos is important, rhino conservation is not just about the total number of rhinos. Thriving African rhinos play key ecological roles within ecosystems, and their evolution depends on their genetic health, not just on population numbers. They are valued by people as iconic species and contribute to human well-being.<ref name=":0" />

== List of animals that are known to have died in captivity in 2023 ==
This is a list of '''animals that have died in captivity in 2023.''' Many more animal deaths occur in captivity far exceeding the number of reported cases. Typically, only the death of elderly animals or well known animals gains attention leaving the majority of deaths unreported. [[Number of animals killed in zoos|Numerous animals are euthanized at a young age]] due to being deemed surplus or excess to the zoo's needs.
