Galapagos Penquin - Spheniscus mendiculus (Endemic)
Galápagos Islands (Isabella Island)
The Galápagos penguin is a particularly vulnerable bird species due to its limited range on the Galápagos Islands. With a population of only about 1800, it remains on the endangered species list, and its population will likely fluctuate strongly in response to anthropogenic changes in the region. The primary danger to the Galápagos penguin is the climate phenomena known as El Niño.
