Yellow-Eyed Penguin

Meet the Hoiho, also known as the yellow-eyed penguin, one of the rarest penguin species in the world. Native to New Zealand, these beautiful birds are easily recognizable by their bright yellow eyes and the distinctive yellow band around their heads. They prefer to nest in secluded spots along the coast, often hidden among vegetation to protect themselves and their chicks from predators.

Unfortunately, the yellow-eyed penguin population has been declining rapidly due to habitat loss, predation, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the survival of these unique creatures. By supporting organizations dedicated to protecting their habitat and reducing threats, we can help secure a future for the Hoiho and preserve the biodiversity of New Zealand's coastal ecosystems. Every little bit counts when it comes to protecting our planet's incredible wildlife.
