Wednesday Waterfowl of the Week–The Wiley Penguin

Blue Penguins

These are New Zealand blue penguins, the smallest species of penguin in the world. I saw these guys in the Antarctic Center in Christchurch, New Zealand two summers ago. They were injured penguins that were rescued and cared for by the center. Every day around four o’clock, the keeper would feed them by tossing fish into the water, where the penguins would chase them down. It was quite a show that attracted many visitors. They still exist in the wild, though they are getting harder and harder to see.
