There are other colonies of these penguins, although their numbers have been declining all over Australia and New Zealand for a while now. In some areas they’ve dropped 70%, in others the colonies have been completely lost.
So it’s good that they have one safe space to breed at least.
My god, that’s fewer than 5.
Also that’s getting really close to “Adam & Eve” level inbreeding. Those penguins have a family wreath, I wonder if they can develop a Hapsburg beak.
