Fairy Penguin

Okay, Fairy Penguins shouldn't really be in the 'Big Stuff' category, they are the smallest penguins in the world, but we like them too much to just put them in the 'Other Stuff' category.

Everyone loves Fairy Penguins, but unfortunately that includes sharks and rays and even pet dogs, which is why they like to spend most of their life in their undergound burrows on land.

Being cute, they are one of the species we love to protect and they'd definitely like to keep it that way. So we've decided not to mention their naughty habit of eating endangered seahorses so that they can keep their fairy image.
