•A shy penguin wins New Zealand's bird election after campaign filled with memes and tattoos
78% Informative
The hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin, won New Zealand's annual Bird of the Year vote.
The bird is a shy bird thought to be the world's rarest penguin.
Campaigners launched meme wars, sought celebrity endorsements and even got tattoos to prove loyalty.
More than 50,000 people voted in the poll, 300,000 fewer than last year .
While anyone in the world can vote, Forest & Bird now requires electors to verify their ballots.
In 2018 , Australian pranksters cast hundreds of fraudulent votes in favor of the shag.
The following year , a flurry of votes from Russia appeared to be from legitimate bird-lovers.
