Bridges arrived at the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary in January 2022 after being found at Danger Point with a dislocated left shoulder caused by a seal bite. The injury left him with limited use of his left flipper, but it never diminished his gentle personality.
He is one of their calmest residents, often choosing to relax in the sunshine and quietly watch the world go by. Bridges is also very fond of his penguin house and becomes surprisingly protective of his space, showing the determined side of his otherwise easygoing nature.
