奇妙岛屿 10 - 英语听力

Alpine parrots called ''kea'' after their calls

Living higher than any other parrots

These are possibly the world's most playful birds

But most of New Zealand's pioneering creatures were drawn to the forests below

And here too given the strange nature of life on Pacific islands

It pays to expect the unexpected

And the last thing you might expect to see here is penguins

These are Fiordland crested penguins

Named after this corner of south New Zealand and their funky hairdo

They're on their daily trip to the sea

Despite hanging out in the forest they haven't lost their taste for fish

So why are these woodlands so attractive to penguins

Because there are no large predators here

It's a safe place for bringing up baby

A freshwater stream through the forest

Makes a handy highway for a parent penguin heading home

From a fishing trip with a crop full of food
