The Galapagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is an unusual penguin which survives only on the Galapagos Islands. It is able to tolerate the warm air temperature of the Equator because the ocean current along the islands is cool. The Galapagos penguin is a small penguin, only about 18 inches tall. It has a black head with a border running under the eyes and across the neck. For more accuracy you may want to touch this plastic penguin up with a little white paint. This species is endangered. There may be only 200 breeding pairs left.The Galapagos penguin's survival is influenced heavily by the availability of fish, which is related to water temperature. Also domestic dogs and cats often disturb the fragile nesting habits of this penguin.
