ON Phillip Island, Australia there is a very large colony of Fairy Penguins. They are only 9-12″ tall. These guys are all dressed up at the visitor center for what I do not know…

Fairy Penguins
These cute lil Fairy Penguins are only 9-12 inches tall. 2000-3000 come ashore after feeding each night at sunset. First, one or two will run about 10 feet inland and then chicken out. THis goes on for about 30 minutes. Then a few finally get brave and then they waddle in in groups of 20-30 for about 45 minutes. Sorry it’s a lil blurry but I had to take this one handed by my foot because they do not allow photography because too many people kept using flash. To see a cute video here is a link to my video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ncsGdRebcpsfiWrQA
On Phillip Island they have created a center to protect the penguins and have built viewing platforms to keep humans from disturbing the penguins too much as they return to their burrows.
