ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fernandinos

Fernandinos are a type of penguin that live in the Galapagos Islands. Penguins are birds that can't fly and love to swim in the water. Fernandinos look different than other penguins because they have a white eye patch on their black head. They also have a shorter beak than other penguins.

Fernandinos are unique because they only live in one place in the entire world - on the Galapagos Islands. They like to live on rocky beaches near the water, where they can find small fish and squid to eat. However, these penguins have been facing some difficulties lately because there aren't enough fish or squid for them to eat. People are also building on the beaches where they like to live, which is making it harder for them to find safe places to make their nests and raise their babies.

Scientists are working hard to protect Fernandinos and their homes. They are trying to make sure people don't build on their beaches and are also working to protect the fish and squid that the penguins eat. They are doing everything they can to make sure these unique penguins can continue to live on the Galapagos Islands for many years to come!
