Little Penguin

The little penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. It
grows to an average of 33 cm (13 in) in height and 43 cm (17 in) in length,
though specific measurements vary by subspecies. It is found on the coastlines
of southern Australia and New Zealand, with possible records from Chile. In
Australia, they are often called fairy penguins because of their small size.
In New Zealand, they are more commonly known as little blue penguins or blue
penguins owing to their slate-blue plumage; they are also known by their Maori
name: korora. Like those of all penguins, the little penguin's wings have
developed into flippers used for swimming. The little penguin typically grows
to between 30 and 33 cm (12 and 13 in) tall and usually weighs about 1.5 kg on
average (3.3 lb). The head and upper parts are blue in colour, with slate-grey
ear coverts fading to white underneath, from the chin to the belly. Their
flippers are blue in colour. The dark grey-black beak is 3–4 cm long, the
irises pale silvery- or bluish-grey or hazel, and the feet pink above with
black soles and webbing. An immature individual will have a shorter bill and
lighter upperparts.
