What is special about Australia's fairy penguin?
These common names come from their small size, the smallest of any of the world's penguins, and the distinctive slate-blue or indigo-blue coloration of the feathers on the top of their body. Their scientific genus name, Eudyptula, means 'good little diver,' which they are. These penguins do not migrate.
