Fiordland or Snares Penguin
Eudyptes [pachyrhynchus or robustus] (= Eudyptes pachyrhynchus) Gray, GR 1845
The Fiordland penguin, also known as the Fiordland crested penguin, is a crested penguin species endemic to New Zealand. It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands. Because it originally ranged beyond Fiordland, it is sometimes referred to as the New Zealand crested penguin. Source: Wikipedia
