MTN has been building its relationship with penguins, their caretakers and their fans for nearly 4 years now. MTN's affair with the vulnerable African penguin began when it decided to support Van the Penguin Man - self appointed caretaker of the penguin colony of Boulder's Beach. As MTN became more familiar with these proud but flightless birds, it became apparent that information on penguins was scarce. To make information more readily available to the public, MTN created penguin interpretive signs which have been placed at penguin viewing spots along the coast such as the Two Oceans Aquarium, Boulders beach and Betty's Bay. No porpoises are found in South African waters.
Porpoises differ from dolphins, they are a group of six distinct and smaller species.
