| Pictured is a monogamous pair of African penguin nesting in sand at Foxy Beach near Boulder's Beach near Simons Town in South Africa. The binomial name is Spheniscus demersus. The species has distinctive pink patches of skin above the eyes and a black facial mask. The African penguin is a pursuit diver and feeds primarily on fish and squid, foraging in the open sea. The African penquin is monogamous. It breeds in colonies and pairs return to the same site each year. A clutch of two eggs is laid in the nest in the sand. Incubation is undertaken equally by both parents for around 40 days until the chicks are born. |
