The Yellow Eyed Penguin is the rarest penguin in the world, found only on the south east coast of New Zealand. This photo was taken during a visit to the Penguin Place, located in the Otago Peninsula in South New Zealand.

Penguin Place is a private conservation effort to help save the world's most endangered penguin, the Yellow Eyed Penguin. Visitors are taken on guided walking tours through a unique system of trenches and hides to view the penguins undisturbed at close range. Penguin Place is funded 100% by the support of our visitors, this funding enables habitat restoration, predator control, a research program and on-site rehabilitation for sick, starving and wounded penguins. It is our hope that through our efforts, the future of this rare and wonderful penguin will be assured.
