We watched the albatross' nests and chicks close up through the glass. Through the telescope, every movement of the albatross is clearly visible. From feeding the chicks to spreading their wings and flying, every detail is fascinating. The guide carefully introduced the albatross' life, from the chicks to the adulthood, and also made a sense of awe arise in our hearts. The last stop is at the exhibition hall of the Royal Albatross Center, which displays the albatross specimens, breeding cycle charts and the results of conservation work. The exhibition hall has an interactive exhibition area, and visitors can learn more about the albatross through the touch screen.
Meet the smallest “Little Blue Penguin” in the world
A group of cute pussy live on the coastline of the Otago Peninsula, the smallest penguin in the world – the Little Blue Penguin. It is only 30 to 35 cm tall, covered with blue feathers, and has a super cute appearance. Participating in a special tour of the Royal Albatross Center allows tourists to watch these cute animals return home from a close distance. The tour begins. The guide first introduces to you the basic knowledge of the Little Blue Penguin, how these mini penguins are foraging in the ocean and how they return to land.
Since the little blue penguins are group-action creatures, every evening, they will start in groups from the sea one by one, look around on the beach, and then quickly walk towards their cabins, which are specially designed by the garden party for them, in order to allow them to rest at night. The guide reminds tourists to keep quiet during the viewing process and not to disturb the penguins’ return to their nests. Finally, the guide also introduces the conservation work of the little blue penguins and the many survival challenges these cute creatures face, including the threat of predators and the destruction of their habitat. Through these ornamental tours, the Royal Albatross Center hopes to allow tourists to get close to the little blue penguins, while also paying more attention to and supporting conservation work, and contributing to the future of these cute little animals.
