  • After returning from sea at dusk, a pair of yellow-eyed penguins ascend the coastal cliff for shelter from the battering waves. Their quiet ritual of mutual preening helps reinforce pair bonds, as well as conditioning their feathers with preen oil from a gland found at the tip of their tails.<br />
<br />
Despite rigorous conservation efforts, the endangered yellow-eyed penguin has dwindled to a mere 166 breeding pairs on the mainland of New Zealand.<br />
<br />
Ongoing threats persist from both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, consisting of overfishing, bycatch in fishing nets, destruction of the sea floor via bottom-trawling, disease, loss of habitat on land, and climate change.

  • Australasian Gannets are expert fishers. Birds soar 10 m or more above the surface of the water, herding fish into dense shoals, then fold their wings back and dive into the water to catch their prey. The fish are grasped with the aid of small backward-pointing serrations along the edges of the bill. A bird only stays under the water for about ten seconds, but the fish is normally swallowed before the bird reaches the surface.  Here, an Australian Gannet soars above the ocean at Muriwai, New Zealand.

  • Rays are one of the only fish species on earth to demonstrate self-awareness via a mirror test.<br />

  • Although phesants originated in Asia and have been bred by humans for over two thousand years, the "Common” Pheasants were first introduced into New Zealand from Great Britain as early as 1842.

  • Giant Manta Rays are nicknamed “Devil Rays” for their “horns” which are actually extensions of the fins that help to funnel plankton into their mouths.  Like many other mammoth fish in the sea, they are filter feeders that eat the smallest of prey.
