About the Yellow-eyed Penguin
The Yellow-eyed Penguin or Hoiho in Maori is native to New Zealand and features on our $5 note along with Sir Edmund Hillary.
It is an endangered species, with approximately 450 breeding pairs remaining on Mainland New Zealand with other populations found on the sub-Antarctic islands of Campbell and Auckland (1992 estimates were 1200-1600 breeding pairs).
Considered to be one of the world's rarest penguin species, and the most ancient of all living penguins.
