\n<\/strong>In episode one of PENGUIN ISLAND\u00a0we meet Bluey and Sheila, one of the 13,000 little penguin couples who live on Phillip Island, as they begin their annual breeding cycle, and the dedicated team of rangers and scientists who will monitor and protect them through the hottest summer on record.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Long-time penguin couple Bluey and Sheila are struggling to feed their hungry chicks, Sammy and Tom and protect them from predatory gulls, domestic pets and a feral fox, which is stalking the colony.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Time is running out for hungry penguin chicks Sammy and Tom, whose parents Bluey and Sheila must swim further and further to sea in a desperate attempt to find fish. As the weather heats up, chicks are dying of starvation throughout the colony and the harsh reality of nature is revealed.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A punishing heatwave hits the island, bushfires are raging around the state and penguins are collapsing from heat, hunger and exhaustion. As the animal hospital fills with overheated wildlife, rangers work to rehydrate and cool the Little Penguins in a battle to save their lives.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Unlucky-in-love Rocky finally finds a mate in Jess, whose previous clutch of chicks has died. But it is very late in the season to be raising chicks before the Little Penguins\u2019 annual moult prevents them going to sea. And new technology reveals just what Little Penguins get up to underwater.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In the final episode of PENGUIN ISLAND, Rocky and Jess\u2019s surviving chick Tilda is not yet big enough to feed herself and is anxiously awaiting the return of her parents. But time is running out as penguins around the island begin to moult.<\/p>\n
