The African penguin lives only in southern African waters. People also call it the jackass, black-footed, or cape penguin. It earned the name jackass penguin from its loud, donkey-like bray.

Like all living penguins, this species cannot fly. It features a sleek body and flat, stiff wings that work as swim flippers.

The African penguin has a unique pink skin patches above its eyes and a black face mask. Its black back contrasts sharply with its white belly. Black spots and a dark band mark the white front.

Zimbo, the African penguin skeleton replica, is teaching a cake decorating class today. He looks so handsome in his white chef hat. He has a bit of a sore throat and is hoping not to sound like a jackass today.

Captain, the magellanic penguin replica, is taking his cake decorating class so that he can make a beautiful cake for his wife for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
