A fact from Crested penguin appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 January 2009, and was viewed approximately 3,313 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the first egg laid in a clutch by Crested penguins (pictured) of the genus Eudyptes is as little as 60% of the size of the second egg?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/January.

Chatham Island penguin[edit]

Unless references are provided the species Chatham Island penguin has to be considered a myth. I will delete any references C00ch 12:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem! Try Google Scholar, maybe, before removing stuff? (re-added Chatham Island penguin). I can't fault anyone for not knowing about this rather obscure critter, but you might have asked first at WikiProject Birds for example.

I might add the refs (4-5 in total, maybe one or two more), but I think I'll leave it up to you ;-) Dysmorodrepanis 08:32, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
