<P> The little penguin breeds along the entire coastline of New Zealand , the Chatham Islands , and southern Australia ( including roughly 20,000 pairs on Babel Island ) . Australian colonies exist in New South Wales , Victoria , Tasmania , South Australia , and Western Australia . Little penguins have also been reported from Chile ( where they are known as pingüino pequeño or pingüino azul ) ( Isla Chañaral 1996 , Playa de Santo Domingo , San Antonio , 16 March 1997 ) and South Africa , but it is unclear whether these birds were vagrants . As new colonies continue to be discovered , rough estimates of the world population are around 350,000 - 600,000 animals . </P>
