"Azulito was an important member of the colony who brought all of us joy with his curious personality. It is never easy to lose a member of our animal family." - Kayla Strate, Assistant Curator of Birds at Birch Aquarium.
"Azulito was one of its most popular little blue penguins, which was evident in the plethora of comments on the aquarium's social media post announcing his death." The aquarium highlighted his impact on visitors.
"Standing at about 10 inches tall, little blue penguins are the smallest penguin species, native to the coastal dunes and rocky shores of Southern Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand." This detail emphasizes their unique characteristics.
"After his arrival in 2021 for the opening of Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins, the penguin was named via a public naming contest, showing the community's involvement and attachment to him."
