In Phillip Island Nature Parks live approx 70 thousand of these adorable birds thanks to a non-profit organization committed to the protection of wildlife. The park hosts, in fact, many animals and the visits allow to finance this conservation project.
Every evening the little penguins return to shore after a day of fishing, it is possible to admire them from different places but, It is strictly forbidden to film and photograph them to avoid disturbing them, even if on the net there are videos and amateur images of visitors who have broken this prohibition.
It is usually there Summerland beach, the preferred location to follow the path that penguins make from the water to the sand dunes where they live.
They live in South Australia and New Zalanda and breed once a year in October. However, it can happen that because of the climate changes and the consequent warm water temperature there is a second brood. All over the world there are 17 species of penguins but these are the smallest ever because they are just 33 centimeters high. A show not to be missed!
