Known as the African penguin, the Jackass penguin is endemic to the rocky coasts of the far south in Africa (Namibia, South Africa and surrounding islands). It has an appearance that camouflages it from predators. A great swimmer, it is capable of reaching 20 km/h, and can even remain underwater for up to two minutes.
Jackass penguins live in colonies formed by numerous pairs, feeding on small fish and crustaceans to survive. When it comes to reproduction, it digs nests in sandy soils and incubates the eggs for 35 to 40 days. It usually lays two specimens.
