Spheniscus demersus, commonly known as the African Penguin, is a species native to the rocky coastlines of southern Africa. It is distinguished by its black and white plumage, pink gland above the eyes, and a braying call similar to a donkey. These penguins are highly social, often forming large colonies and displaying unique behaviors such as cooperative hunting. They primarily feed on small fish like sardines and anchovies. Unfortunately, they are currently endangered due to habitat destruction and declining food sources.

Spheniscus demersus, commonly known as the African Penguin, is native to the southwestern coast of Africa. It is predominantly found along the coastal areas of South Africa and Namibia.

The African Penguin inhabits coastal and marine environments characterized by rocky shores and islands. The climate in these regions is typically temperate with relatively mild temperatures and seasonal variations. The penguins are adapted to both land and sea, spending time on land for breeding and in the ocean for feeding.

African Penguins are marine predators, primarily feeding on fish such as sardines and anchovies, as well as squid. They are adapted to diving and swimming, using their wings as flippers to propel through water. On land, they nest in burrows or under bushes to protect themselves from the sun and predators, showing adaptations to both terrestrial and aquatic life.
