African Black-Footed Penguin
These birds are called "underwater fisherman" because their underwater agility allows them to catch a lot of fish.
Other than zoos or aquariums you will be able to find these penguins in South Africa.
They can live up to 15 years in their natural habitat.
In zoos and aquariums they can live for about 25-30 years. This is mainly because they cannot be hunted and killed by their predators.
These penguins are friendly and highly social birds. They don't fear humans and enjoy interacting with them.
