Part 4/8:
With multiple penguin species residing in close proximity, each faces unique threats and challenges. Little blue penguins thrive in urban settings, yet this coziness poses dangers, such as vehicles and human activity. Nevertheless, communal nesting and breeding strategies keep their population robust.
