Size Comparison
Habitat Comparison
African Penguin
Rocky coastlines and offshore islands of southern Africa. Nests in burrows, under boulders, or in surface scrapes.
Eurasian Wren
Dense undergrowth in woodlands, gardens, hedgerows, and rocky areas. Prefers tangled vegetation close to the ground.
Song & Call Comparison
African Penguin
A loud, donkey-like braying 'waaah-waaah' — hence its nickname 'jackass penguin'. Also gives softer grunts and contact calls at the colony. Highly vocal on breeding beaches.
Eurasian Wren
Extraordinarily loud for its tiny size: a rapid, powerful stream of trills, buzzes, and churring phrases. One of Europe's loudest songs by volume relative to body weight.
Geographic Range & Migration
African Penguin
Coastal southwestern Africa from Namibia to Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The only penguin species breeding in Africa.
Eurasian Wren
Eurasia from Iceland and western Europe to Japan. The only wren species found outside the Americas.

Thin, slightly curved, dark brown bill
About These Birds
African Penguin
아프리카펭귄은 아프리카 대륙에 고유한 유일한 펭귄 종으로, 당나귀 울음소리 같은 울음 때문에 자카스펭귄이라고도 불린다. 남아프리카와 나미비아의 해안과 섬에 서식한다. 현재 멸종 위기종으로, 어업과 서식지 훼손으로 인해 지난 세기 동안 개체수가 급격히 감소했다.
Eurasian Wren
굴뚝새는 유럽에서 가장 작은 새 중 하나이지만 놀랍도록 큰 소리로 노래한다. 몸무게 10g 미만이지만 노래 소리는 500m 이상 퍼진다. 추운 날에는 집단으로 모여 체온을 유지한다.
