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.
