Meet These Amazing Species Of Penguin
The only penguin that crosses the equator, this species is endemic to the volcanic islands formed in the Galapagos.
Those who are endangered and called jackass penguins because of their braying call, these species are found in Namibia and South Africa.
Named after the famed explorer Ferdinand Magellan, these penguins are very loyal creatures; they are found in coastal Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands.
Humboldt penguins prefer warm weather and can be found along the coasts of Peru and Chile, nesting in colonies on guano-encrusted cliffs, such as the Ballestas Islands.
They have been found only on the Snares Islands, which are lying far away from New Zealand. These colonies are located in forests that are protected from predators, and they are quite hard to see because of that isolation.
Fiordland penguins spend a little over 75% of their life at sea and can be found in the two regions of New Zealand, the Fiordland and the Southland.
These long yellow-feathered birds are very bold because of their personality, and they prefer to spend their lives on a remote island like Tristan da Cunha while being pretty good cliff climbers.
These rare and endangered penguins nest directly onto bare rocky substrates from New Zealand's subantarctic islands due to their unique upright yellow crest and are among the least studied species.
Often confused with Macaronis, Royals are only found on Macquarie Island, which belongs to Australia and is recognised for its white faces and loud display of courtship behaviour.
