Chester Zoo blind penguin has surgery to save sight
A penguin at Chester Zoo has had surgery to save his eyesight after he struggled to see fish at feeding time.
The zoo's bird experts found that Munch, who is a Humboldt penguin, had "been blinded by cataracts".
Vets successfully repaired his sight in a two-hour operation and he has now been reunited with his life partner Wurly as they nurture eggs in their nest.
