About These Birds
African Penguin
The African penguin is the only penguin species native to the African continent, also called the jackass penguin for its donkey-like braying call. Their population has plummeted over 95% since pre-industrial times due to egg collection, oil spills, and competition with commercial fisheries for sardine and anchovy stocks.
Magellanic Penguin
Magellanic Penguin, 61–76 cm, breeds in large colonies on the coasts of southern Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands. Two black breast bands, white facial stripe. Migratory; winters northward to southeastern Brazil and the Chilean coast. Piscivore; dives for anchovies and squid. Near Threatened.
