About These Birds

Snares Penguin

Snares Penguin, 50–63 cm, breeds only on the Snares Islands, a tiny New Zealand sub-Antarctic archipelago. Bold yellow crest meeting above bill, pink facial skin, red-pink bill. Piscivore and krill feeder. Vulnerable; limited to a single island group making it inherently at risk from any catastrophe.

Erect-crested Penguin

Erect-crested Penguin, 67–70 cm, breeds only on Bounty and Antipodes Islands southeast of New Zealand. Distinctive erect, brush-like yellow crest standing upright from eye to crown. Forages at sea for fish and squid; breeding biology poorly known due to remote location. Endangered; declining.
