Saving A Species: The Great Penguin Rescue is a documentary that follows the passionate efforts of volunteers animal care experts, conservationists, local citizens, tourists, business people and animal lovers from around the world that flock to Africa in a race against time to rescue African penguins who have been endangered by an oil spill off the coast of Cape Town. Saving A Species: The Great Penguin Rescue is produced by Spectrum Productions for Discovery Kids.
