To begin with, let me tell you about these little creatures what can interest you, the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. The penguin, which is about 43 cm (16 in) tall, is found on the coastlines of southern Australia. Apart from being popular as “Little Penguins”, they have several common names. In Australia, they are also referred to as “Fairy Penguins” because of their tiny size. In New Zealand, they are also called “Little Blue Penguins”, or just “Blue Penguins”, owing to their slate-blue plumage, and they are also called “Kororā” in “Māori”.

The most amazing fact about these cute little Fairy Penguins is that the Fairy or Little Penguin is the smallest of the 18 species of penguin and the only one to breed in Australia. These amazing creates can sleep at sea and may spend weeks away from land. The sea fish, such as pilchards and anchovies, and squid form the bulk of diet for these smallest breed of penguin.

These birds have naturally lost their ability to fly and have adapted to a life spent more at sea than on land. They are a bit notorious among other sea birds and Penguin breeds for their watery existence producing oil which they spread through their dense feathers. They have a flattened cornea and can see just as clearly underwater as on land….isn’t that a miracle of nature!

In the Sydney Aquarium, the wave action generated in this exhibit creates a natural environment for the penguins and is behavior enriching as they enjoy diving through and riding the waves as they would in the wild. Penguins are, without a second thought the very first surfers in the world. The wave motion also promotes the growth of seaweed and kelp. Thus, the Sydney Aquarium is worth visit on your next holidays to Sydney. But don’t forget to book your tickets online well in time.
