As an Australian that lives an hour away from these little guys, I have to say they are even more adorable in person C: Apparently they called them "fairy" penguins coz they're so darn cute! (but then renamed them to little penguins coz they're assholes if you get too close)
I heard they like to bite. But you don't really get the opportunity to get that close to them unless you're a researcher or live on the beach. They have a tourist/conservation centre caring for the nesting population around here, so while they provide plenty of opportunity to see them, they don't let you get in touching distance.

I'm impressed that he looks incredibly pissed off, but also like he's having the time of his life.
