Очковый пингвин

The only penguin species native to Africa, African penguins inhabit islands and coastlines of southern Africa from Namibia to Port Elizabeth. Reaching 70 cm in height, they are recognized by their braying, donkey-like calls and distinctive black-and-white plumage with a unique pink gland above the eye. Endangered, with populations having declined by 70% since 2000 due to food scarcity from commercial fishing, oil spills, and climate-driven shifts in prey distribution.
