Fun fact! Jackass penguins are named for the loud braying calls they use to communicate with each other, said to sound like a donkey’s. This is not a species you will see on snow and ice, as it is native to the coasts of South Africa.

Nice shot. They look sad. Probably cause they know they are endangered.

I never saw these beautiful penguins when I was in Cape Town. Such a pity. An excellent spotting, Sanchayan.
