Little blue Penguin
Did you know Little Blue Penguins are the smallest penguins in the world? They are also endangered. Did you know little blue penguin can all die from just one dog?
Dogs think that they are toys and they kill all of them. Most little blue penguins lay up to 1-2 eggs a year. I think that is not much at all the more they die the less are left in the word.
Little blue penguins can live up to 6 years. They mate for life too. Also they can be as tall as 25 to 30 cm and that's the adult, the babies can be as tall as 10 to 12 cm.
They are also camouflaged. They have a white belly because is makes it look like the sky from underneath and they have a blue back so it looks like the water from above. so it's hard to see them in the water.
They eat fish and can hold their breath up to 20 seconds and they can dive down to up to 75 metres. They can swim up to 2-4km/hr but have been recorded swimming up to 6-4km/hr. Little Blue Penguins eat up to 25% of their body weight a day.
