About These Birds
Royal Penguin
Royal Penguin, 65–76 cm, breeds exclusively on Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean. Like Macaroni Penguin but with a white (not black) face — the most obvious distinction. Crested penguin; krill and fish feeder. Vulnerable; breeds in one of the world's largest seabird colonies (~800,000 pairs).
Little Penguin
Little Penguin, 30–40 cm, is the world's smallest penguin, found in southern Australia and New Zealand. Blue-grey upperparts, white below. Returns to burrows only after dark to avoid aerial predators. Piscivore; dives to 70 m for small fish and cephalopods. Resident near breeding sites year-round.
