General: The Fiordland penguin (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus), also known as the Fiordland crested penguin (in Māori, tawaki or pokotiwha), is a crested penguin species endemic to New Zealand. It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands.^[2] Because it originally ranged beyond Fiordland, it is sometimes referred to as the New Zealand crested penguin.^[3] [more]
