Fairy Penguin



    Fairy Penguins are the smallest penguins in the world.  They are also called Little Blues because of their indigo color.

Did you know?

l       Fairy penguins are the smallest species of penguin.



l      The scientific name 'Eudyptula' is Greek for 'good little diver'.

l      Each year Fairy penguins will return to the same burrow and 'renovate' it, if it is not too badly damaged.

l      The average life-span of a Fairy penguin is about seven years.
