The
African penguin
(
Spheniscus demersus
), also known as
Cape penguin
or
South African penguin
, is a species of
penguin
confined to southern
African
waters. Like all
extant
penguins, it is
flightless
, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into
flippers
for a marine habitat. Adults weigh an average of 2.2–3.5 kg (4.9–7.7 lb) and are 60–70 cm (24–28 in) tall. The species has distinctive pink patches of skin above the eyes and a black facial mask. The body's upper parts are black and sharply delineated from the white underparts, which are spotted and marked with a black band. The pink glands above their eyes help them with
thermoregulation
. To cope with changing temperatures, blood is sent to the glands to be cooled by the air.
[3]
The African penguin is a
pursuit diver
and feeds primarily on fish and squid. Once extremely numerous, the African penguin is declining rapidly due to a combination of several threats and is classified as
endangered
. It is a charismatic species and is popular with tourists. Other
vernacular names
of the species include
black-footed penguin
and
jackass penguin
, due to the species' loud, donkey-like noise,
[4]
although several related species of South Jackass penguins produce the same sound. They can be found along the coast of
South Africa
and
Namibia
.
