Snares crested penguins

The Snares crested penguin has the most limited distribution of any penguin: solely on the isolated Snares Islands, where approximately 30,000 pairs cling to two little islands for the purposes of procreation. The Galapagos penguin is also confined to a single island group – the equatorial Galapagos Islands.
