There's nothing quite like the dulcet tones of an African penguin. Thankfully. (Okay yes there's something just like it. It's called a j̶a̶c̶k̶a̶s̶s̶ donkey.) Video by biologist Tim Wong | California Academy of Sciences

African penguins are often called the “donkey penguin” because their calls sound so similar to that of a donkey! What do you think it sounds like? 🐧🔊 📹: Georgia Aquarium #AfricanPenguin #Penguin #SoundOn #Fascinating | Animal Planet

📣 African Penguin Awareness Day 🐧 The African Penguin, Africa’s only penguin species, was unlisted to Critically Endangered in 2024. Their population has dropped by 97% over the last century. If nothing changes, they could disappear by 2035. At Marine Dynamics, along with the Dyer Island Conservation Trust (DICT) and the African Penguin & Seabird Sanctuary (APSS), we’re working tirelessly to save them, through rescue, rehabilitation, nest project, and advocacy. 🖤 You can help: ✅ Donate or spo
