Here’s an interesting bit of new in the world of science and penguins…
According to an article on Reuters, researchers have discovered a unknown penguin species called the “Waitaha penguin“. They have been extinct for 500 years yet just recently discovered as researchers were studying the rare Yellow-eyed penguin. Waitaha penguins appear to be unique to the south island of New Zealand.
