Port Elizabeth, South Africa — A swarm of bees has killed 63 endangered African penguins on a beach outside Cape Town, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds said on Sunday.
"After tests, we found bee stings around the penguins' eyes," said the foundation's David Roberts, a clinical veterinarian.
"This is a very rare occurrence. We do not expect it to happen often, it's a fluke," he told AFP by telephone, adding that dead bees were also found at the scene.
For the first half-dozen years of her pro career, Daria Kasatkina was known as an ascending player, whose tennis was predicated on brains, not brawn, using her racket less as a high-powered weapon than a scalpel. She was known throughout tennis by her nickname, Dasha. She was not known for being political, or particularly outspoken.
