Hi Jessica -

To respirate means to breathe. Penguins are birds, and they are air breathers. Just like you and me, they hold their breath when they dive under the water, and breathe again when they come back to the surface.

Great photos and information on your viewing of the Blue penguins. I really do hope we get to see them when we are in New Zealand this October. I also want to see the Albatross as well!

Hi Lavender - You're right. I really should do more articles on sea birds. I've been neglectful of this form of marine life!

Thomas, thank you - and thanks for the Stumble, too.

Mon@rch, we never knew about this bird before we saw it here, either. Glad you enjoyed the post.

Anna, we did see both of those films you mentioned. I think those were about Emperor penguins in Antarctica. I believe the Emperors are the largest penguin species, while the Blues are the smallest.

Bobbie, ohhhhh they are so cute. I actually love penguins - did you ever watch the happy feet; and there was another documentary I watched narrated by Morgan Freeman, it was really good - not the same type though. The ever closest encounter I had, it was always at the zoo, hey still real thing. Lovely photos and very good information about them. As much as it is part of food chain, I hate to think about the predators, but what can you do. Great post, and thanks for the visit on my blog. Anna :)

Thank you, Danny. The Blue Penguins do seem to be faring better than some of the other penguin species.

Kathy, yes, they are tending chicks now. If I remember correctly, a woman who works at the Oamaru Blue Penguin colony told us that there are about 100 chicks there this year.

You can see the blue feathers really well in the second photo.

They certainly are busy - are they tending their chicks now? That will keep them even busier!

Great post!
