•A smelly penguin wins New Zealand’s hard-fought bird election - WTOP News
82% Informative
The hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin, wins New Zealand's bird of the year .
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 their loyalty.
In 2018 , Australian pranksters cast hundreds of fraudulent votes in favor of the shag.
The following year , Forest & Bird was forced to clarify that a flurry of votes from Russia appeared to be from legitimate bird-lovers.
While campaigns are fiercely competitive, managers described tactics more akin to pro wrestling.
