Abstract

Four Humboldt penguins were imported from overseas in March, 1975. Soon after arrival at the Zoological Garden of Chang Gyeong Won in Seoul, two penguins became ill with symptoms of severe dysnnoea, vomiting, diarrhea and mild convulsion. They died on the second day of illness. The main pathological finding was bronchitis which accompanied a caseous airsacculitis on the left lung. A massive melanin pigmentation in the intertubular tissue of the testis was found accidentally.
