About this deal

The White-Flippered penguin is the smallest penguin species (about 12 inches tall) endemic to New Zealand. The banded penguins, such as the Humboldt and African penguins, have featherless patches on their faces and feet where they divert blood to cool when overheated. The main threats to these animals include pollution, climate change, and getting caught as bycatch in fishing nets. The birds nest under forest canopy, in caves, under boulders and shrubbery, and in nests made of brush and grass.

But it’s the eastern rockhoppers who live on Macquarie Island, Heard Island and the McDonald Islands. This penguin species is distributed in the northern parts of the Antarctic oceans, particularly in the islands of Auckland, Campbell, and Stewart in New Zealand.Both Adélie and emperor penguins are ice dependent—the food they eat requires ice to grow and the ice floes provide protection and a resting spot during long foraging trips. Preening and grooming each other is common, possibly as a way to rid partners of harmful parasites that could be detrimental later during the period of chick rearing. But the earlier migration of Icadyptes indicates penguins actually migrated during a time of significant warming. As with Adélies, marine protected areas could help to safeguard their food sources and partially mitigate some of these adverse effects.

They live in colonies on the Antarctic ice, where they keep each other warm from the wind chills which can reach -76 degrees Fahrenheit. You can identify a Galapagos Penguin by the white band running under their chins and the black horseshoe shapes near their bellies. Blue Penguin ( Eudyptula minor) –also known as the little penguin, the fairy penguin, or the little blue penguin, this is the smallest of the penguin species and gets its name from the slate-blue and indigo feathers that are found on top of its body. Adélie ( Pygoscelis adeliae)- The Adélie penguin is one of two penguins to nest exclusively on Antarctic shores, the only other penguin to do so is the formidable emperor penguin. It was these specimens that supplied evidence for the theory that penguins split from other birds before the end of the Cretaceous epoch.Emperor penguins and king penguins are notably different than all other penguins; they forgo a nest altogether and instead carry a single egg on the tops of their feet.
