African Penguin

The African penguin is a black-and-white penguin native to the coasts of southern Africa. It has a dark band across the chest and pink bare skin near the eyes. At sea it pursues small fish, returning ashore to rest and breed. Colonies use coastal islands and some mainland sites, where sheltered nests help protect eggs and chicks. Parents share incubation and feeding duties. Its braying call distinguishes it from the voices often associated with Antarctic penguins.
