About These Birds
Königspinguin
Der Königspinguin ist die zweitgrößte Pinguinart und bekannt für seine auffälligen orange-goldenen Kopfzeichnungen. Anders als die meisten Pinguine baut der Königspinguin kein Nest, sondern bebrütet sein einzelnes Ei auf den Füßen. Sein 14 bis 16 Monate dauernder Brutzyklus ist der längste aller Pinguinarten.
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.
