Critter of the Week: New Zealand King Shag

What better way to end your working week than listening to Jesse chat critters with one of our country's most passionate conservationists, Nicola Toki. Meet the New Zealand King Shag (Leucocarbo carunculatus), a majestic, rare seabird endemic strictly to the rugged, ocean-swept outer Marlborough Sounds. Dressed to impress in a sleek black-and-white tuxedo, bright pink feet, a striking cobalt-blue eye ring, and vibrant orange-yellow facial warts (caruncles), this coastal diving master doesn't mess around when it comes to fishing - plummeting into deep, turbulent waters for bottom-dwelling delicacies.
