The little penguin is a species of penguin from New Zealand. They are commonly known as fairy penguins, little blue penguins, or blue penguins, owing to their slate-blue plumage and are also known by their Māori name kororā. They are fossorial birds. The Australian little penguin, from Australia and the Otago region of New Zealand, is considered a separate species by a 2016 study and a 2019 study.
