Abstract

Yellow-eyed penguins, Megadyptes antipodes , are endangered species with a sharp decline in the numbers of breeding pairs over last 2 decades. Diphtheritic stomatitis, characterized by a thick fibrinopurulent exudate in the oral cavities and symptoms, including inanition and significant weight loss, is responsible for significant mortality among the young chicks.
