A pair of Little Penguins, Eudyptula novaehollandiae, or fairy penguins at the Wild Sea centre in the Melbourne Zoo. The Fairy penguin is the smallest of the penguins growing up to 33cm (13 inches). These penguins are a big tourist attraction, with many visitors coming to Phillip Island for the nightly Penguin Parade. But there is a closer colony, little penguins live in suburban St Kilda, on the breakwater.
