About These Birds
Fiordland Penguin
Fiordland Penguin, 60–67 cm, breeds in the temperate rainforest of Fiordland and Stewart Island, New Zealand — highly unusual habitat for a penguin. Dark upperparts, whitish cheek streaks (3–6). Secretive breeder in coastal caves and tree roots. Piscivore. Vulnerable; threatened by introduced predators.
King Penguin
The king penguin is the second-largest penguin species, known for its striking orange-gold head markings. Unlike most penguins, king penguins do not build nests — they incubate their single egg on their feet. Their 14-16 month breeding cycle is the longest of any penguin species.
