Daniel Thomas from Massey University necropsies kororā from the 2017-2018 die-off event, in which hundreds of birds washed up in the north of New Zealand. Most had succumbed to starvation. Such wrecks are not a new phenomenon—in 1974 almost 4000 penguins were found on Northland beaches. Some scientists are concerned penguin wrecks will become more common as seas continue to warm.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 158 July- August 2019.
