Penguin parade

       Snares crested penguins live
       on the coast of New Zealand.
       Every year in September, they
       walk up to 2,952 ft (900 m)
       inland to find a safe place
       to lay their eggs. They travel
       down well-worn penguin
       paths to reach the forests
       where their eggs will be
       safe from predators, until
       their young hatch a few
       months later.
