You Can Now See The World’s Smallest Penguins In San Diego VIDEO

A colony of Tiny blue penguins, the smallest species of penguin in the world, is now part of the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla.

The Fairy Penguins, less than one foot tall, and weighing only two or three pounds, are now living in San Diego.

They are native to the Southern Hemisphere, usually found in Australia, and New Zealand.

Newsweek says the new group, at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, will be the first time the species has been on display at a zoo in the Western U.S.

The colony of penguins will live in a 2,900 square-foot habitat exhibit, including a rocky and sandy shore area and an 18,000-gallon pool.
