BLUE PENGUIN

BLUE PENGUIN (Eudyptula minor) (See images below)
The blue penguin (or little penguin) is the smallest member of its family. It is native to Australia but can also be found along the coastline of New Zealand. Those penguins nest in burrows near the sea but can also use man-made structures. Currently that penguin is not considered endangered or threatened.
