The Australian little penguin (Eudyptula novaehollandiae), also called the fairy penguin, little blue penguin, or blue penguin, is a species of penguin from Australia and the Otago region of New Zealand. The species was described as Spheniscusnovaehollandiae in 1826.[2] It was later reclassified as Eudyptulaminornovaehollandiae, a subspecies of the little penguin.[2] After a 2016 study, Eudyptula novaehollandiae was again recognised as a distinct species.[4]
