Wildlife officials are investigating a suspected dog attack in Tasmania, after 58 penguins were found mauled to death.
A member of the public alerted rangers to the dozens of penguin bodies strewn across a beach on the north coast of Australia's island state.
This is the second dog attack in months on local little penguins ‑ the smallest penguin species ‑ according to reports.
