What is an African penguin?
The African penguin ( Spheniscus demersus ), also known as the Cape penguin or South African penguin, is a species of penguin confined to southern African waters. Like all extant penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.
This of course begs the query “What penguin lives in africa?”
A frican penguins live in colonies on the coast and islands of southern Africa. Also called jackass penguins, they make donkey-like braying sounds to communicate. To keep dry and insulated in cold water, African penguins are covered in dense, water-proof feathers.
Banded penguins are found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere: the Humboldt penguin and Magellanic penguins found in southern South America, and the Galápagos penguin found in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. All are similar in shape, colour and behaviour.
You should be thinking “What do African penguins eat?”
This is what I researched. the African penguin is a pursuit diver, and feeds primarily on fish and squid. Once extremely numerous, the African penguin is declining rapidly due to a combination of several threats and is classified as endangered. It is a charismatic species and is popular with tourists.
The African penguin, also known as jackass penguins due to its bray resembling that of a donkey’s, lives only in Africa’s southern shores, from Namibia to South Africa. The penguins’ population has rapidly decreased by more than 60% since the early 1980s. There are now about 50,000 individuals, and they are considered Endangered.
