THE AFRICAN PENGUINS!!!!!!

 

The African penguins are found off the coastlines of South Africa and Namibia, they breed on islands. Males and Female’s penguin look almost identical to each other so its kinder hard to tell which one is the male or female.

These penguins are vulnerable to extinction because of the oil spills that threatens the survival and also people would kill them for their eggs and that alone has led to the drop number of their population. The African penguins lay two eggs at a time and both parents take turns to incubate the eggs and in feeding the chicks. Chicks are the baby penguins, it takes between 38 and 42 days for the eggs to hatch.

The newly hatched chicks are blind and completely helpless and for the 30 days of the chicks lives the penguin parents protect and feed them until they are fully grown and can take care of themselves. These penguins can live under water for like 8 to 10 minutes without drowning.

They feed on small fish for survival and some ocean animals, they love busking in the sun to keep their bodies warm and staff. They kinder like look like birds hey when you like carelessly glance at them. African penguins used to be called the jackass penguins because of their braying call. I would like people to take a very good care of these animals as they can’t survive when they spilled with oil since their feathers are so short and cannot help them swim well in the waters.
