"Mesmerizing Melbourne Nights: Little Blue Penguins (Eudyptula minor) Illuminate the Cityscape" In December 2016, amidst the enchanting St Kilda breakwater in Victoria, Australia, two little blue penguins stood proudly on rocks at night. Their delicate silhouettes were beautifully contrasted against the dazzling lights of Melbourne's cityscape.
