African penguins have a very recognisable appearance, with a thick band of black that is in the shape of an upside-down horseshoe. They have black feet and black spots that vary in size and shape between individuals.
The King Penguin, reaching nearly 3 feet tall, is second only to the Emperor Penguin in size. This large flightless bird nests in colonies up to 10,000 individuals. The King Penguin feeds on fish & lantern fish, but their favorite is squid.
Magellanic Penguins mate with the same partner year after year. The male reclaims his burrow from the previous year and waits to reconnect with his female partner. The females are able to recognize their mates through their call alone.
