I am the only species of penguin that can be found North of the equator. This is because the cool waters of the ocean currents that pass-through Galapagos allow me to survive despite the tropical latitude. I am an endangered species and my numbers are critically low and my species is on the brink of extinction. By adopting me and helping fund Galapagos Conservation Trust you will be helping me and the unique ecosystem of the Galapagos Islands.
