The little blue, fairy, or fairy blue penguin! The world’s smallest extant species of penguin. Least concern status in terms of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s designation of species threat. Hella cute. Blue!
Not, that, like, anyone’s mom was a penguin freak pushing anyone to learn trivia about all seventeen extant species of penguin… and several extinct species of penguin, or anything.

I just LOVE the way he looks back a couple of times, as if unsure of this. But once the water touches his feet, he is ALL IN.

Someone learned from Candice Bergen’s mistake on proper release. Picture is from her SNL monologue.
As a child, after overhearing the cook talk about serving her pet turkey for thanksgiving, she decided to set Larry free. She took him to the rooftop of a hotel in Hollywood, pointed to the Hollywood sign, and told him to go there, where turkey’s could live free. She nuzzles his waddle one last time and free’s him … and learns that a turkey will go right through the roof of a car.

Both organisms soared with joy. Well, one of them did.
If anyone wants more NZ wildlife release videos, Massey University’s Wildbase hospital does some amazing work. And they’re at my uni!
