NEW ZEALAND – Imagine making a 7,000km journey just for dinner. That, University of Otago scientists have found, is the life of the elusive Fiordland penguin.
In a study, just published in PLoS One, a group of international scientists satellite-tracked Fiordland penguins during their post-breeding journeys and found the birds cover distances of up to 7,000km in just eight weeks.
