The Land of Penguin


New Zealand

Do you know “ Sunshine Penguin Walk Tour”?
New Zealand is indeed the land of penguin. There are eighteen species of penguin in the world, six of them are in New Zealand. In addition, New Zealand was a first country to be discovered a fossil of penguin.

We can see a unique penguin in New Zealand.
ex.
Little Blue Penguin: They are the smallest penguins in the world. We can see them around the Stewart Island.
Fiordland Penguin: They live around the Fiordland and are called the rarest penguin in the world.

In the old days, they live in the shade of a tree or a grass but people build a lot of house recently so a number of the place where they can live is decreasing. However, they manage to live in a shade of a building. However, on the other hand some people try to clean a beach and make the place for penguins in order to preserve penguins. Moreover, some tourist guides recommend the tour that a traveler can observe the place where penguins live in and try travelers to be interested in penguin’s life.


Japan

They are popular with an aquarium.
There are no wild penguins in Japan but we can see them at an aquarium or a zoo. In the Taisho Era, they were brought into Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. In addition, now Japan has been the strongest country on breeding of penguin. The nearest place where we can see them from NUFS is Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium. (We can see the biggest penguin in the world “ Emperor Penguin” at that aquarium!)
