Three African penguins strutting their stuff on Boulder's Beach, South Africa. The penguins draw crowds of tourists from around the world and have to contend with rush-hour traffic getting back to their mates after a day's fishing at the shore.

In honor of booking tickets to South Africa, here is a throwback to meeting endangered African penguin chicks. Being able to have successful breeding programs for this species is so important today. When South Africa saw an increase in commercial fisheries along the coast, penguin populations experienced a sharp decline largely due to prey shifts and dwindling food supply. African penguin populations have dropped 80% in the last 50 years. 80% in ᴏɴʟʏ 50 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While many conservation groups are working diligently to save this species, this highlights how consumers ᴍᴜsᴛ be aware and conscious about their food choices. From consuming less, and ensuring food is sourced sustainably and ethically, it is our choices that shape the future! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The positive change starts with you. Be the game changer.

"This species is classified as Endangered because it is undergoing a very rapid population decline, probably as a result of commercial fisheries and shifts in prey populations. This trend currently shows no sign of reversing, and immediate conservation action is required to prevent further declines" - birdlife

"Esta especie está clasificada en Peligro porque está experimentando una disminución muy rápida de la población, probablemente como resultado de la pesca comercial y los cambios en las poblaciones de presas. Actualmente, esta tendencia no muestra signos de reversión, y se requieren acciones de conservación inmediatas para evitar nuevos descensos." - birdlife

The results are in: we have a boy and a girl! The male is named Tumbo, meaning "tummy", and is one of the largest chicks hatched at Georgia Aquarium! The female is named Kianga, meaning "sunshine" because of her bright penguinality ☀ Their names are in Swahili. There are no visible differences between male and female African penguins, so we determine their sex through DNA testing. ❤️️ #AfricanPenguin #EndangeredAnimals
Najsłodszy maluch w zoo :) Pingwin przylądkowy (toniec) o bardzo oryginalnym wyglądzie -bez fraka, ale równie urodziwy co reszta członków stada. Wykluł się całkiem niespodziewanie tej zimy. Niezwykle rzadki przypadek.
