Fiordland Penguin
The Fiordland penguin (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus), also known as the Fiordland
crested penguin (in Maori, tawaki or pokotiwha), is a crested penguin species
endemic to New Zealand. It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of
New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its
outlying islands. Because it originally ranged beyond Fiordland, it is
sometimes referred to as the New Zealand crested penguin. This species is a
medium-sized, yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin, growing to
approximately 60 cm (24 in) long and weighing on average 3.7 kg (8.2 lb), with
a weight range of 2 to 5.95 kg (4.4 to 13.1 lb). It has dark, bluish-grey
upperparts with a darker head, and white underparts. Its broad, yellow
eyebrow-stripe extends over the eye and drops down the neck. It can be
distinguished from the similar erect-crested penguin (Eudyptes sclateri) and
Snares penguin (Eudyptes robustus) in having no bare skin around the base of
its bill. Female Fiordland penguins lay a clutch of two eggs where the
first-laid egg is much smaller than the second egg, generally hatches later,
and shows higher mortality, demonstrating a brood reduction system that is
unique from other avian groups. This penguin nests in colonies among tree
roots and rocks in dense temperate coastal forest. It breeds along the shores
in the West Coast of the South Island, south of about Bruce Bay and the Open
Bay Islands, around Fiordland and Foveaux Strait, and on Stewart
Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands. Fossils of this species have been
found as far north as the northern end of the South Island, and they probably
once nested in the North Island as well. Other remains found in a 13th century
Aboriginal Tasmanian midden in Hunter Island evidence that they formerly
occurred out of New Zealand, as well. Their range drastically reduced by
hunting in Polynesian times, and they are now only found in the
least-populated part of New Zealand. The main prey species reported are
cephalopods (85%, mainly arrow squid, Nototodarus sloanii), followed by
crustaceans (13%, primarily krill, Nyctiphanes australis) and fish (2%, mainly
red cod and hoki). However, the importance of cephalopods might be
exaggerated. Prey taken seems to vary between Codfish Island and northern
Fiordland. Model and Skin: DEMON HUNTER, AURORA DESIGNS. Text and Image: Eng
