Several species of penguin make their homes on New Zealnd's islands; apart from the little blue penguin - for which there is some evidence of living in Chile - it is their only region: * Eudalyptula albosignata, the white-flippered penguin. * Eudalyptula minor, the little blue penguin. * Eudyptes pachyrhynchus, the Fiordland crested penguin. * Eudyptes robustus, the Snares penguin. * Eudyptes sclateri, the erect-crested penguin. * Megadyptes antipodes, the yellow-eyed penguin. Vagrants of several other, mainly Antarctic-based, penguins have also occassionally found their way to New Zealand, but are not counted as living there.
