ʻEpekema : Eudyptulaʻuʻuku

Nui : 13-15'niha ka lōʻihi me ka 11-14-inch o ka'ēheu'ē aʻe, ka hana o ka hale, ka huelo liʻiliʻi
Nā Lā :'Aleʻele-ʻeleʻele, hina, keʻokeʻo,ʻeleʻele,ʻeleʻele,'ōmaʻomaʻa
Nā Marking : He like nā kāne e like me ka nui o nā kāne aʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā wāhine. Ua paʻi kēia mau penguins i ka pupuhi me ka pale kalaʻula-hina a i'ulihina keʻokeʻo ma luna a me ke keʻokeʻo a keʻokeʻo paha ma lalo. Hiki i kaʻili ke hōʻike i kahi paler auricular patch, a hiki i ka'eneʻe ke uhiʻia me ka lepo o kēia mau penguins o ka hūnāʻana ma lalo o ka ulu lāʻau a me ka hoʻolimalimaʻana. He pōʻele iki nā lima a hiki ke hōʻike i kahi keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo ma kēlāʻaoʻao kēiaʻaoʻao, kahi e hiki ai i nā lima ke nānā kele aku. ʻO nā maka heʻeleʻele aʻeleʻele paha, heʻulaʻula paha, a me nā wāwae a me nā wāwae e pili ana mai ka wiko i kaʻulaʻula-keʻokeʻo me nā poʻo hina a me nā mauʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele.

ʻO nā poʻe'ōpiopio e nānā like i nā mākua akā e hōʻike pinepine i kaʻeleʻele ma luna o nā māhele a me nā lālā luna paha. He mau uku liʻiliʻi hoʻi nā manu'ōpio.

NĀʻAi : Fish, krill, kepau, crustaceans ( See: Piscivorous )

Ka Nohoʻana a me ka Holoʻana:

ʻO kēia mau penguins e hoʻonui i ka nui o ko lākou manawa ma ke kai i ke ao, a ma ka pō e makemake i nā kahakai ākea a iʻole nā wahi i kahi i kahi e waiho ai, e pili ana i nā ululāʻau kokoke i nā kahakai. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā kahakai one a ma nā wahi'āpana pōhaku, inā lōʻihi ka uhi e hiki ai iā lākou ke noʻonoʻo.

Loaʻa nā penguins ma kaʻaoʻao hema a me ka hema o'Asalia, a me Tazmania a me New Zealand. ʻAʻole hiki i kēia mau manu ke hele, akā, ʻikeʻia nā maka i nā manawa ma'Akekalani a me Chile,ʻoiai paha ma hope o ka kipakuʻiaʻana o kēia mau manu i kahi mamao aku i ko lākou āpau i nāʻino.

Nā Mahi:

ʻO ka mea liʻiliʻi loa o ka'ōpana penguin ka leo o ka leo nui a me nā hua'ōlelo nui loa, me nāʻano he nui, nā barks, croons, grunts and bips in their repertoire. Hiki i nā mākua ke pākani nui, akāʻo ka moa wale wale nō e hoʻohana i kahi kāhea kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe e hāpai i ka nānā a paipai i ka hānaiʻana.

Nā hana:

Ua kapaʻia kēia mau penguins i ke awakea, akāʻo ka mea maoli, ke hana nei lākou i nā lā a pau ma ke kai e like me ka hoʻokele. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona he mea maʻamau ia i nā hola pōleʻele, akā, no kaʻikeʻana o kēia mau penguins i ka haʻaleleʻana a me ka huliʻana i ko lākou mau wahi hoʻolālā a me nā wahi e'āpana nei, i ka hala o ke ahiahi a me kaʻikeʻana i ka pō.

ʻO nā penguins liʻiliʻi heʻano pilikino a he hoʻokele i nā hui. E like me nā manu liʻiliʻi, he pālahalaha ko lākou paila,ʻoi aku ma lalo o 60 kapuaʻi ka hohonu, akā naʻe ua paʻa i kahi o 100 kapuaʻi hohonu.

Ma ka'āina, ua makaʻala loa kēia mau penguins i nā kānaka a me nā mea pōā a holo wikiwiki i waena o nā wahi uhi ma mua o ka hoʻomahaʻana.

Hiki iā lākou ke hakakā kekahi i kekahi, akā, e komo i ka hakakā a me ka hakakā me nā hakakā a me ka paleʻana kekahi i kekahi e hoʻokumu i ke kūlana.

Hōʻano houʻia:

ʻO kēia mau penguinsʻeleʻele iʻikeʻia ma hope o ka hōʻikeʻana i ka hoʻokipaʻana i kahi o nā kāne e hana ai i kāna pila i ka lewa a hoʻonāueue i kona mau lima i kona kāheaʻana e hoʻokomo i ka nānāʻana o kahi wahine. Māiʻi nā kāne kāne i ka pūnana puni lepo, e kāwili ana me nā lau a me nāʻala like. Nānāʻia nā puka hoʻokipa ma lalo o nā aʻa'ōmaʻomaʻo iʻole ma lalo o ka uhi, aʻo ka manu nō hoʻi o kēia mau manu i nā papa pōhaku, nā ana a me nā pahu hāmele e pouli a me nā hale noho. Hoʻohana pinepineʻia nā nū no nā makahiki he nui, aʻo nā manu kolonā e lele kokoke aku i kekahi.

Heʻelua hānai nā hulu manu, aʻelua mau māhele a nā mākua a pau, a ke hoʻokaʻawale nei nā mākuaʻelua i nā hana i ka hoʻololiʻana e like me ka heleʻana o kekahi makua i ke kai no ka hoʻolālā aʻo kekahi e mālama ana i nā hua.

ʻO ka manawa hoʻopunipuni he 30-40 mau lā, a ma hope o ka'ōʻana o nā'ōpiopio liʻiliʻi, hoʻomau nā mākua i ka mālama i nā moa no nā pule he nui a hiki i ka wā e kūʻokoʻa ana nā'ōpiopio.

ʻOiai kēia mau penguins e hānai i hoʻokahi keiki i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e ho'āʻo paha kekahi mau mākua i ka hoʻomakaʻana i ka lua a iʻole ke kolu o ka pūnana ināʻaʻole i pau nā pūnana a me nā moa. Hoʻomaka kēia mau manu i ka wā he 2-3 mau makahiki a hiki ke ola no ke ola, akā e hiki ke hemo ka hemoʻana ināʻaʻole i kūpono ka hānauʻana.

Ke hāpai nei i nā kamaliʻi liʻiliʻi:

ʻAʻole kēiaʻano manu i nāʻano loli, akā ua hoʻololi pono lākou i ka pio a hiki keʻikeʻia i nā zoos a me nā aquarium a puni ka honua. ʻO nā Birders e makemake ana e hōʻiliʻili i nā penguins liʻiliʻi i kā lākou papa helu ola, hiki iā lākou keʻimi i nā manawa kūpono e hoʻokomo ai i nā'ōlehu "parade" i nā pōkole a me nā pūnana penguins, me ka nānāʻana i nā penguins liʻiliʻi ma ka hoʻemiʻana i ka pilikia i nā manu.

Hoʻomalu:

ʻO ka waleʻana o nā kālena keʻokeʻo o kēia mau penguins i manaʻoʻia he pilikia. Hoʻomaluʻia nā penguins a pau e nā kānāwai likeʻole,ʻaʻole wale ma keʻano o nā holoholona laulā, akā, no ko lākouʻano moʻomeheu a me ka pilina i ka'Ālika, Tasmania a me New Zealand. Hiki i nā mea pīhoihoi ke pilikia nui i nā koleka penuina, aʻo nā'īlio, nā pōpoki, nā alopeke, a me nā momona, ua kaumaha nui lākou ma luna o kēia mau manu i ka wā i hala. ʻO ka loli o ka loli e hoʻololi i nā heluna o nā iʻa iʻa pono e hiki ke hoʻopilikia i nā penguins, a he nui hoʻi ka nui o nā manu mai kaʻaila a me ka haumia. Ma kahi e kokoke ana nā koina nesting i nā wahi o ka'āpana'āina, ua'ōlelo pūʻia hoʻi nā penguins liʻiliʻi e ka huiʻana o nā kaʻa.
