Dunedin Wildlife
Otago Peninsula and Dunedin's southern coastal beaches are home to a variety of marine wildlife.
As well as various seabirds and waders living along the coast, Taiaroa Head is home to a colony
of Northern Royal Albatrosses, a sea bird with an impressive three metre (120 inch) wingspan.
The Peninsula is also home to colonies of Little Blue Penguins, the smallest penguins in the
world, as well as being an important breeding habitat for the endangered Yellow Eye Penguin.
New Zealand Fur Seals regularly inhabit the beaches, and sea lions and sea elephants often come
ashore, especially at night. Hooker’s Sea Lions, Leopard Seals and Southern Sea Elephants are
known to frequent the beaches.
There are various walks, tours and cruises around the peninsula in which to experience this
unique place, with proceeds often going towards the upkeep of the conservation reserves.
