Mr Greedy, who was euthanized at 33, played a crucial role in saving African penguins from extinction, fathering 230 descendants. His contributions underscore the species' struggle against endangerment.
Jen Kottyan, the zoo's bird curator, remarked on Mr Greedy's significance, saying, 'This one bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.'
The successful pairing of Mr and Mrs Greedy produced an impressive offspring success rate, which Kottyan described as 'Solid and reliable,' emphasizing the duo's significance in conservation efforts.
Mr Greedy's notable age of 33 surpasses the typical 18-year life expectancy for African penguins, making his contributions to the species particularly noteworthy during his remarkable lifetime.
