Takeaways:
- Over 5200 little penguins participated in the largest “penguin parade” on Philp’s Island in Australia.
- These are the world’s smallest penguin species which grow no bigger than 15.7 inches tall.
- Reasons for the increase in birds may have been due to this year’s La Niña event which may be boosting the birds’ offshore food supply, meaning that more birds are congregating in costal waters.
