The volunteers at the South African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre in Port Elizabeth on the east coast of South Africa are warned about the sharp beaks of the Cape Gannet (Morus capensis) and the beaks and claws of the African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus) but all the warnings cannot save you from an angry Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) attacking your rear from the rear.
