HOIHO

Will the hoiho be extinct in a couple of years? The hoiho is one of the largest penguins in the world. Penguins can't fly so this means that they can't get to their babies if they getting attacked by predators like dogs, cats, stoats and people.
The hoiho has a bright yellow stripe that goes around the back of it's head and goes around to it's eyes. The hoiho also has bright pink feet. They weigh 4 to 5 kilograms and grow up to 65cm's tall.
Most of the yellow eyed penguins live in Southern Hemisphere. Only some species live on mainland New Zealand. These include the the fiorland crested penguin and also the Hoiho. 
The hohio eat fish. Some times one of the baby hohio's parents go fishing and the other penguin looks after the baby hoiho. The baby hoiho eat the food out of their parents mouth.
I believe we should save the Hoiho because there will be no more left if we don't!
