Unique to New Zealand, the hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin, is thought to be one of the world's rarest penguin species. Yellow-eyed penguins/hoiho are found along the south-east South Island and on Banks Peninsula, on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outliers, Codfish Island/Whenua Hou, the Auckland Islands and Campbell Island. The yellow-eyed penguin/hoiho (Megadyptes antipodes) is named because of its yellow iris and distinctive yellow head band.
