Fully grown Australian little penguins average about 25β30 cm (10β12 inches) in length and about 1.2 kg (2.6 pounds) in weight. They have pale blue or indigo to dark gray plumage, a streamlined body, a short beak, and pinkish webbed feet with black claws. The upper body feathers of juveniles are colored brown, but, like those of adults, the feathers on their undersides are white.
