Latin description
Eudyptes robustus

The Snares Penguin, also known as the Crested Penguin, is found exclusively on the Snares Islands south of New Zealand. With its bright yellow crest feathers and robust build, it is easily identifiable. This species breeds in dense colonies in forested areas and relies on the abundant food resources in the surrounding waters.
