Spheniscus demersus
One of only a couple of inland penguin colonies in South Africa, they are protected by walkways which must be kept to at all times. Adorable robust penguin that is a joy to watch for hours!
Rocky coastline in the Western Cape of South Africa, with suitable nesting sights inland slightly from the sea.
The African Penguin is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Redlist with dramatic decline in numbers over recent years due to oil spills and depleted fish stocks as a result of over fishing.
