About These Birds
Brillenpinguin
Der Brillenpinguin ist die einzige auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent heimische Pinguinart und wird wegen seines eselähnlichen, schreienden Rufs auch Eselspinguin genannt. Sein Bestand ist seit vorindustrieller Zeit durch Eiersammlung, Ölverschmutzungen und die Konkurrenz mit der kommerziellen Fischerei um Sardinen- und Sardellenbestände um über 95 % eingebrochen.
Yellow-eyed Penguin
Yellow-eyed Penguin, 56–78 cm, is one of the world's rarest penguins, endemic to southeastern New Zealand and sub-Antarctic islands. Distinctive yellow iris and yellow band behind the eye. Piscivore; dives to 120 m for blue cod and opalfish. Endangered; threatened by habitat loss, introduced predators, and fisheries bycatch.
