Meet the Little Penguins at the Penguin Parade

These adorable creatures, also known as “fairy penguins,” measure just 30 centimeters tall and weigh about 1 kilogram. As the sun sets, watch in awe as they waddle ashore in small groups, crossing Summerland Beach to return to their burrows after a day of fishing.
