Animal Facts:

The African penguin, also known as the jackass penguin for its loud, donkey-like bray, is the only penguin species native to Africa. Found along the southern coastlines of South Africa and Namibia, these penguins are famous for their distinctive black-and-white markings and pink patches above their eyes, which help regulate body temperature.

Standing about 60–70 cm (24–28 in) tall and weighing 2.2–3.5 kg (4.9–7.7 lbs), they are expert swimmers, capable of diving to depths of 130 meters (430 ft) in search of fish, squid, and crustaceans. Interestingly, each penguin has a unique chest spot pattern, much like human fingerprints.

Sadly, African penguins are critically endangered, with their population declining by over 95% due to habitat loss, overfishing, and oil spills. Despite this, they remain a symbol of perseverance and are beloved by visitors to colonies like Boulders Beach, where they coexist with humans at close range!
