Fiordland Penguin in a Forest Environment with a Wooden Feeder
Fiordland crested penguins are unique seabirds that build nests under coastal rainforest trees rather than open icy shores. Standing near wooden forest structures and feeding stations, these unusual penguins navigate damp woodland floors beneath thick tree canopies.
Habitat of the Fiordland Crested Penguin
Also known as tawaki, Fiordland penguins are native to the southwestern coasts of New Zealand's South Island. Unlike polar species, they live in temperate coastal rainforests, sheltering under tree roots, fallen logs, and dense fern bowers. They travel through forest undergrowth to reach the ocean, where they spend months foraging for fish, squid, and krill.
