This penguin is found off the coast of southern Africa . Penguins are birds that cannot fly, but penguins swim very well and spend most of their lives in the sea. The male is larger and has a longer bill than the female. There is a black stripe on the chest. They have webbed feet which they use for swimming.
Penguins have shiny, waterproof feathers that help keep their skin dry.
They have more feathers than most other birds - about 70 feathers per square inch. Once a year, penguins molt, losing their old feathers and growing new ones. Females lay two eggs. The incubation period is from 38 to 42 days. Both parents guard the nest and feed the hatchlings regurgitated food.
