flag A kororā in Oamaru, New Zealand, died after being allegedly deliberately harmed, prompting a wildlife investigation and public appeal for evidence.

flag The Department of Conservation is investigating the death of a kororā in Oamaru, New Zealand, on September 28, 2025, after a witness reported suspicious vehicle activity near The Esplanade between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm. flag The injured penguin, found alive but later died, is believed to have been deliberately harmed. flag Authorities are seeking video or photo evidence from that time and location to identify those responsible and support potential prosecution under the Wildlife Act, which carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $100,000 fine. flag The kororā, the world’s smallest penguin species, is threatened and increasingly vulnerable due to urban development and human activity. flag DOC is urging the public to remain vigilant, especially during the summer months, when wildlife nests near coastal roads.
