The World's Smallest Penguin Species

Little penguins, also known as blue penguins or fairy penguins, are the smallest penguin species in the world, growing to about thirteen inches in height. Native to coastal waters of Australia and New Zealand, these nocturnal birds nest in underground burrows along sandy shores and rocky cliffs. Unlike larger Antarctic species, little penguins live in temperate coastal environments near ocean bays and rocky islands.
