He was put on an emaciation plan to help him gain weight and stabilise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After stabilisation, his swimming ability will be tested to see if he is viable for release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the public are encouraged to contact Trumie Lategan at 082 929 9112 when they encounter sea birds of this kind, to enable rescues of this nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penguins should not sit on the beach; it is an immediate sign that they are unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If rescued, they will be cared for appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-attachment-id=\"264318\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/juvenile-african-penguin-rescued-on-jeffreys-bay-beach\/juvenileafricanpengu_92797-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"juvenileAfricanpengu_92797\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1-768x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264318\" style=\"width:536px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/juvenileAfricanpengu_92797-1-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The juvenile African penguin was rescued at Jeffreys Bay Main Beach on June 14.
