In Chile, injured Humboldt penguins are receiving specially developed recovery vests to aid in the healing process. The vests are designed to protect the animals' wounds and prevent them from damaging the stitches during the recovery period. This approach represents an innovative technique in the care and rehabilitation of the species. Humboldt penguins are a vulnerable species that inhabits the Chilean coast, and the use of the vests demonstrates an advancement in veterinary treatment methods applied to wildlife.
