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.

Humboldt Penguin

Humboldt Penguin, 56–70 cm, is restricted to the coasts of Peru and Chile, dependent on cold, fish-rich Humboldt Current. Single white facial stripe, large bare skin patch around bill. Piscivore; dives for anchovies and herring. Vulnerable; populations severely reduced by guano harvesting, fishing pressure, and El Niño.
