Yellow-Eyed Penguin - Unique Endangered Species of New Zealand #206697 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts the yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes), an endangered species endemic to New Zealand’s subantarctic islands and South Island coastlines. Notable for its vivid yellow iris and streak above the eye, along with a pinkish-orange beak and feet, it is one of the world’s rarest penguins. Unlike many penguins, it prefers solitary nesting in forested or scrubland areas rather than large colonies.
