African Penguins Boulder Beach South Africa
hi it's AlaskaGranny
I am visiting in Cape Town South Africa
and visited Boulders Beach to view the African Penguin
also called the jack-ass penguin
also called the black footed penguin
If you travel to Cape Town, South Africa,
head to Boulders Beach
to visit the nesting grounds of the African Penguins.
Also known as the jack-ass penguin for it's donkey like bray,
the black footed penguin lives only in the waters off of South Africa.
These little penguins weigh around 7 pounds
and are 28 inches tall.
You can tell the babies by their brown fluffy feathers,
and the older juveniles look slate blue.
What a fantastic sight to see penguins in the wild,
lounging on the beach,
relaxing in the sunshine,
and diving into the Atlantic Ocean to fish for food.
I love how they go wild
waddling down the beach,
wagging tails,
fluttering tiny wings.
African penguins are endangered,
so please view and appreciate
without disturbing them in their natural environment.
Viewing penguins in the wild is a lifelong dream of mine,
come true on this day!
