They are called little or fairy penguins (Eudyptula mino), they live in New Zealand and Australia and have the typical tuxedo look of a penguin except they are blue! They are also the smallest penguin, weighing just 2 pounds, these little guys are most affected by such threats as food shortages and habitat loss.
