Yellow-Eyed Penguin Conservation Reserve

This reserve is a private conservation effort to save the world's most endangered, and shyest, penguin from extinction. You are able to experience and photograph undisturbed activity at close range [3-4 meters/9-12 feet] through a unique system of hides and tunnels.

Note the camouflaged buildings and tunnels. Doesn't it remind you of the opening scenes of MASH?
