Five penguins have been killed in a shocking attack near a Melbourne beach.
Researchers at the St Kilda bird colony say it's the most sickening attack they have seen.
The killers climbed security gates at the St Kilda breakwater on Wednesday night, newspapers reported.
The dead birds suffered multiple stab wounds or had their necks wrung.
Monash University PhD student and colony researcher Tiana Preston, 26, discovered the dead birds on Thursday morning.
"When I first got there I saw some blood spattered around," Ms Preston said.
"It was quite disgusting. No-one who is normal could do this - they are such beautiful, amazing creatures."
A small knife was found with blood stains and feathers stuck on it.
Earthcare St Kilda penguin research group coordinator Zoe Hogg said it was the second attack on the penguins in a year.
