African Penguins 58 images Created 13 Feb 2018
The African Penguin is the only penguin species to breed on African shores and it is largely found along the cold waters of the southwestern coastline. Mostly breeding on the scattered offshore islands of South Africa and Namibia, there are also two mainland breeding colonies at Boulders Beach in Simonstown and at Stony Point at Bettys Bay. Today the population stands at around 175 000 birds and populations are still sadly decreasing with the bird now been listed within the Red Data Book.
