Summary description from Wikipedia:
Crested penguin
Eudyptes (from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû), meaning "true, well", and δύπτης (dúptes), meaning "diver", and thus, "true diver") is a genus of penguins whose members are collectively called crested penguins. The exact number of species in the genus varies between four and eight depending on the authority, and a Chatham Islands species became extinct in recent centuries. All are black and white penguins with yellow crests, red bills and eyes, and are found on Subantarctic islands in the world's southern oceans. All lay two eggs, but raise only one young per breeding season; the first egg laid is substantially smaller than the second.
