Tag: 2023 Little blue penguins

This week we have been learning about little blue penguins, we did a little blue penguin kahoot, to see who knows really well about them. Little blue penguins are the smallest penguins in the world, they weigh one block of butter, or cheese meaning 500grams or 1kg, they dont grow as tall as other penguins. Probably 1m or even smaller, little blue penguins are endangered from dogs and cars sometimes humans, to tell how one has died you cut it open and look at the guts. Little blue penguins are also some times endangered by erosion, erosion is where the tide can go down or up, little blue penguins walk about 1m away from water meaning their nest gets destroyed during erosion. Little blue penguins can dive down 33m or less and maybe more. They don’t wander around the beach instead they just walk to the water swim and come back the same path, they go out early in the morning to have a swim and get fish and then get back at sunset. On Thursday we are going to the beach to try find them.
