Swimming African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the Black-footed Penguin, beside the dock in Struis Bay. This species is widely known as the Jackass Penguin because of its braying. We saw these in the cold water along the south and west coasts of South Africa and visited a nesting colony near Simon's Town with Hilary and Rick. (view photos of Penguin colony)
