Fairy Penguin
Also known as the kororā to the Māori, the blue fairy penguin is native to the coasts of New Zealand and Australia. Although, there has been new studies that show there are actually three different kinds of Blue Fairy penguins, with the ones who live in Australia and a certain part of New Zealand as different. Although listed at low risk, their populations are slowly declining, with some colonies disappearing entirely! Learn More!
Carrion Crow
The carrion crow is one smart cookie! It often said that the crow has a brain similar to that of a three year old. They are able to solve problems and even recognize humans! One study showed that they would target a certain mask wearer despite what he was wearing being different from what they originally wore when they were bothering the crowd. The news quickly spread amongst them and soon all the local crowd knew to defend their territory from this guy. Learn More!

The little penguin (or fairy penguin) of New Zealand is rarely seen on land, as it spends the day either out at sea or in its burrow and moves about under the cover of darkness. Some have established colonies in urban areas, creating nests under houses, sheds, and woodpiles.

I did some doodles of @taliscat’s wonderful fairy penguin AU. I love it so much!! The comic is unfinished as yet, but I wanted to share it anyway because it’s probably going to take me a while to actually clean up the line art

Round 4 - FINALS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last round had some very intense competition! Little Blue managed to beat the iconic Emperor penguin, while the Adélie beat its cousin the Chinstrap.
A couple of facts to take with us into the finals: Little Blue penguins are also called Little penguins, Blue penguins, or Fairy penguins. They are the smallest penguin species. Adélie penguins are recognizable by their solid black and white sections, as well as the white ring around their eyes.

Happy world penguin day!!
Tumblr media
I am going to go over some interesting penguins, they could be interesting because of their names or adaptions.
Tumblr media
These guys are the African Penguins. The African Penguin is the only one of 17 penguin species that lives in Africa. This penguin is also known as the Jackass penguin because they have a noisy squawks. These squawks sound like the braying of a donkey therefore getting the nickname the Jackass penguin. In the language Afrikaans they call the African penguins brilpikkewynn (pronounced bril as in brilliant-puh-kuh-vain), this translates to English as braying penguin.
Tumblr media
New Zealanders call these penguins Little Blue Penguins or just Blue Penguins. Australians call them Fairy Penguins.thw names come from the small size the fairy penguins have. Fairy penguins are actually the smallest species of penguin. The fairy penguins have indigo-blue or slate-blue feathers on their backs as you can see in the image above. The scientific genus name (Eudyptula) means good little diver. Fairy penguins do not migrate. They live year-round on their mainland or island locations in the southern hemisphere
Tumblr media
Some species of penguins propose to each other with a pebble. Adélie penguins are actually one of those penguins. When the two penguins are dating, the male penguin will give the female a pebble. If the pebble is accepted by the female the two penguins will mate for life. When Adélie penguins mate for life and return to each other at the same nest every year. The nest will be a pile of pebbles.
Tumblr media
The population status of eastern rockhopper penguins is unknown. The eastern rock hopper penguins are located on several islands in the Indian and Pacific oceans. The penguins specifically live in sub-artic locations, such as the Crozet and Kerguelen islands. Eastern rockhopper penguins spend most of their lives at sea and only return to land to molt and breed.
Tumblr media
At least 85% of northern rockhoppers are located on the islands of the Atlantic ocean Gough and Tristan da Cunha. of the Tristan da Cunha archipelago and Gough Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the Northern rockhoppers has decreased about 90% since the 1950s.
Tumblr media
The Southern rockhopper penguins are classified as vulnerable and have decreasing population size. This species of rockhopper penguins live on the coastlines of Chile and Argentina, as well as the Campbell island in New Zealand. The Southern rockhoppers are found on several other islands in the Pacific, south Atlantic and Indian oceans. The Southern rockhoppers have a narrower stripe of yellow over their eyes than the Northern rockhoppers.
Tumblr media
The Magellanic penguin is the most common type of banded penguin. They are a medium to large penguin that have a thick black line running across their white chest. Magellanic penguins have white border surrounding their face. During breeding season Magellanic penguins are found on the Falkland Islands as well as the coast of southern south America. In the winter they migrate as far north as northern Brazil.
There are also some gay penguins. People have served penguins engaging in homosexual behavior since as early as 1911. The first documented case of homosexual penguins was not released to the public until a century later due to the report being "considered too shocking for public release".

Oh when you start selling your work again please message me! I love love love your little blue penguins so much!! How much would one be? I’ll try to save up for when you sell again.
Thank you! I'd absolutely LOVE to message everyone personally once I start selling again but incredibly there are just too many of you and only one me. The best way to get notified of my reopening is to follow me! I'll post updates well ahead of any shop drop or commission opportunities. Eventually I'll get a newsletter or something together so it can come right to your inbox if you so desire.
I honestly have not crunched the numbers for a penguin so I can't say for sure. A few hundred USD is my guess, as they take quite a bit of work. I'll post a price guide once I get up and going to give everyone a chance to save up!

Oilbird
What’s that, a bat? No it’s the oilbird! These fellows are a great example of evolutionary convergence, in which two different species evolve with similar characteristics in order to survive in their environment. They do in fact live in caves and use echolocation to hunt for their prey, insects. They’re actually called “oilbirds” because people used to melt down the chicks of oilbirds in order to make (you guessed it) oil. Learn More!
Fairy Penguin
Also known as the kororā to the Māori, the blue fairy penguin is native to the coasts of New Zealand and Australia. Although, there has been new studies that show there are actually three different kinds of Blue Fairy penguins, with the ones who live in Australia and a certain part of New Zealand as different.

The little penguin (or fairy penguin) of Australia is a brighter blue than its New Zealand counterpart. They don't usually travel far, but one population exists in southern New Zealand and sometimes they are spotted in Chile.

April 25 is World Penguin Day, a celebration of one of the most charming and unique animal species in the world.
This day aims to teach people more about penguins, their habitats, and their importance in the ecosystem.
It also raises awareness about the ways in which we can help protect penguins and their environment as, alarmingly, out of the 17 existing species of penguins, 11 have been classified as endangered. 
History of World Penguin Day
World Penguin Day coincides with the day when Adelie penguins begin their yearly migration to the north.
One day, researchers at the McMurdo Station on Ross Island noticed that Adelie penguins always went off on their annual northern migration on April 25. 
They thought it would be fun to have a holiday to mark this day, which could also have an educational purpose, raising awareness about the dangers that penguins face. 
World Penguin Day also gives scientists, researchers, and marine biologists a platform to educate people about these issues and tell them about ways in which they can help.
Here is a list of the 5 most adorable penguin species:

A couple facts to take with us into round 3: Little Blue penguins are also called Little penguins, Blue penguins, or Fairy penguins. They are the smallest penguin species. Emperor penguins are the largest penguin, and known for their long journeys to get food for their chicks.
