Alfred Date is a 109-year-old Australian man who keeps busy by knitting sweaters for injured penguins. Australia’s oldest man. donates the little sweaters to a Phillip Island wildlife foundation. The organization uses the Knits for Nature program to rehabilitate penguins that have been injured from an oil spill. Oilcauses penguins to become cold and incapable of hunting. Sweaters are placed on the penguins to keep them warm and prevent them from preening and swallowing oil. The sweaters are a temporary solution until veterinarians can wash the birds.
阿爾弗雷德·戴特是一名109歲的澳大利亞老人，他一直忙碌著為受傷企鵝織毛衣。這位澳大利亞最長壽的老人為菲利浦島野生動物基金會捐獻小毛衣。在自然保護項目中，該組織用這些毛衣幫助漏油事件中受傷的企鵝盡快恢復。企鵝身上的油會讓它們感到寒冷，并無法捕捉食物。穿上毛衣的企鵝能夠防寒，并防止它們整理羽毛或是吸油。毛衣只是暫時性策略，之后獸醫將對企鵝進行清洗。
