Catching a glimpse of the world's rarest penguin

This travelling couple couldn't believe their luck when they got to catch a glimpse of the world's rarest penguin while travelling around New Zealand. This is called the Yellow-eyed Penguin, known also as Hoiho or Tarakaka. The yellow-eyed penguin cannot be found in zoos because they will not reproduce in captivity. Whilst travelling around the South Island of New Zealand, this couple came across a hide in a mainland habitat, that anyone is allowed to access, to try and watch the birds come ashore. They didn't think they would actually get to see these amazing penguins in their natural habitat swim to shore and run across the beach, but after only a short time of waiting, this is exactly what they got to see. What an amazing thing to witness! They were definitely at the right place at the right time to capture this wonderful memory from their travels.
