The royal penguin's largest breeding colony is on Macquarie Island, between New Zealand and Antarctica. Though the penguin oil industry is long gone, they face new threats in the form of rats, cats, plastic pollution, and competition with commercial fishing.

The crested penguins of New Zealand. In Maori they are called “Tawaki”. Belonging to the genus Eudyptes, they are the Fiordland penguin (E. Pachyrhynchus), the Snares (E. Robustus) and the Erect-crested (E. sclateri).

Due to how closely related they are, it is debated whether they are a single species with three subspecies, or three distinct species. It’s difficult to tell them apart since they are so similar.

above: the fiordland penguin

Unlike the other two species, the fiordland penguin has small white stripes underneath its eyes, and has no bare skin around its beak. Like the snares penguin, its crest (the yellow eyebrows) does not stand up. This penguin is known for swimming very far for food. These chaps nest in forests.

above: snares penguin

the snares penguin looks almost exactly like the fiordland penguin, but it lacks the white stripes below its eyes, and has a bare area of skin around the beak. The fellows breed on the Snares Islands.

this is the erect-crested penguin. Like the snares penguin, it has a bare area of skin around its beak. Unlike the other two species, it has a crest that stands up, hence the name. These guys only breed on the Bounty and Antipode islands.

Do you have any sonic ocs? (Or ocs in general, haha) (totally not asking so I can make fanart, nahhhh….)

The fact that you are considering drawing my OCS when you haven't even seen them yet is very flattering,thank you!!

these are from when i was in highschool lol

This is Spark, They are a Tetraplegic Chao Cream found and brought to Tails,who successfully managed to build a fully functional mechanical body for them to play with. This robot body is connected to their brain and can even fly.

Spark lives at Tail's workshop and they’re clearly very fond of Cream -who regularly visits them to play- and Tails.

Originally,Tails was going to design Spark’s robot body based on his own (for trademark reasons) but since Cream was Spark's “owner” (for lack of a better term referring to someone who takes care of a chao) ,she wanted to participate in the designing part and gave him a few crayon drawings of rabbits, which were so cute that Tails simply had to include them in the final design. This is why they look like a Fox/Rabbit hybrid. (it also makes sense since Spark sees them both as some sort of older siblings)

ofc Spark isn't always inside their robot body,Tails takes them in and out everyday.

Aaand these are some apprentices I designed for the Babylon Rogues! Tundra,Velvet and Ember. They love snowboarding and are developing their skills at Extreme Gear Racing. They kinda need some redesigning...

These three are orphans. They used to live at an orphanage situated in a small town near Snow Valley. Unsatisfied with their lives there (and that nobody seemed to be interested in adopting them) they ran away around the age of 12 to try and start new lifes on their own,resorting to thievery and trickery to get by. Life was hard and unfair for three kids growing up in the snowy streets,but thanks to Velvet's determination,Ember's charisma and Tundra's intelligence they managed to survive. After a year of wandering,they stole 3 snowboards and started practicing the sport ,with the hopes that one day they would become famous professionals who didn't need to resort to stealing. However,by they age of 16, they hadn't just developed great skill and love for what they now consider "the art of thievery" - and a liking for equipment and luxuries most can't afford- but they also had lost all interest on the "safer" version of snowboarding and became addicted to the speed and the danger of racing.

They set on a journey to find their childhood idols: The babylon Rogues, a group of legendary thieves that they heard tales about back at the orphanage's storytime and who's Extreme Gear skills were what originally inspired them to try snowboarding. They traveled far and wide searching for them and once they managed to find Wave,Jet and Storm,they begged them to teach them their ways . After annoying them enough (and practically not letting them alone lol) the trio of professionals finally agreed to train them.

VELVET THE NORTHERN CARDINAL:

Energic,Peppy,Sassy,Optimistic,laid-back and confident. A speed junkie and a little bit of a clown. The fastest of the trio. Jet is his Idol and he'll do anything to impress him. Tries to annoy Sonic to imitate his teacher,but he actually thinks he is the coolest guy around after Jet. He has a big heart and doesn't seem to hate Sonic -or anyone -at all,but he does enjoy some friendly banter at the moment of competing. Jet likes him a lot and is kinda proud of him but he tries not to show it ,as he doesn't want the kid (or himself) to get attached or to think he'll actually pass to him his "Master of the wind" title someday.

The gem-shaped-computer on his neck was a gift he received from Wave after she updated her own and didn't know what to do with her old one. According to her,she handed it down to him cause "it matched his feathers". Now,feeling honored by one of his idols,he wears it with pride.

EMBER THE COCKATIEL:

Cheeky, Rebellious, Brave, Impulsive and Loyal. Doing tricks in the air like its nothing is her specialty. Cares a lot about her looks and is an expert at the art of deception. She is also can be a little bit of meanie. She and Wave share a sister-like kind of relationship. Since they both have strong personalities, they fight a lot and she tends to disobey her,espeally when it comes to the times she tries to teach her about mechanics and "the boring part" of Extreme Gear personalization. However, they always make up and end up gossiping at the end of the day.

TUNDRA THE CRESTED PENGUIN :

Silent, cold, shy, serious, a bit competitive and incredibly smart. Expert at strategizing and finding shortcuts while racing. Has high expectations of himself and doesn't handle failure very well. Being the oldest by a year,he is very protective of his adoptive siblings. Unlike Wave and Jet,Storm didn't have to be convinced to take him under his wing cause he liked the kid since the moment he showed up. tho he is trying to teach him to live a little and be a bit more impulsive at the moment of racing.

Round 1 Match 1

The Erect-Crested penguin is one of many crested penguins. These guys live in the New Zealand region and are on the endangered species list. They only breed on the Bounty and Antipodes Islands near New Zealand. Erect-Crested penguins are around 20-28 inches (50-70 cm) tall.

The Little Blue penguin, also called the Fairy penguin, Blue penguin, or Little penguin, is the smallest penguin, standing at a height of about 12-14 inches (30-40cm). They also live in the New Zealand region. Little Blues earned their name with their bluish feathers. These penguins burrow for their nests, and lay two eggs, like most other penguins. The first part of their scientific name "Eudyptula minor" means "good little diver".

As promised, here are some photos from the national aviary in Pittsburgh! Saw lots of wonderful birds there.

I also took a boat tour up in Maine and saw lots of Atlantic puffins! I also saw some razorbills, common eiders, common loons, Wilson's storm-petrels, an Arctic tern, and a black guillemot. And plenty of gulls of course!

Little is known about the erect-crested penguin, because research is hampered by the remoteness of the two islands (Bounty and Antipodes Islands) they breed on and the difficulty of getting permits to visit said islands.

Round 1 Match 2

The King penguin lives in Antarctica. The friends featured in the picture above are an adult and chick. Chicks are brown and fluffy until they molt into their adult plumage. In adulthood, they stand at about 28-39 inches (70-100cm) tall. This height is second only to the Emperor penguin. King penguins look very similar to Emperor penguins, but King penguins have more orange-y neck feathers.

The Fiordland penguin is another crested penguin, living in New Zealand. They can differentiated from other crested penguins by the few white feathers on their cheeks, which can make it look like they are blushing :3. Fiordland penguins stand at about 21-23 inches (55-60cm) tall.
