Default Happy Feet - Jackass

The African Penguin (aka Jackass Penguin due to the horrendous Eehaw sound they make)

That third shot is a head scratcher...It looks like a tropical environment with penguins waddling about! How cold is that water?

Your third shot is awesome!! I scrolled through the first two thinking they would be taken at some zoo somewhere. then I scrolled down and saw the third and that you'd captured them in their natural habitat. I would have liked to have been there to see it. Great job!

Awesome photos. I love the open mouth on the second pic and the last one is stunning. Was this taken on the coast of Africa?

Boulders Beach, Cape Town. It is a magnificent spot
We take the kids to the next small bay which occasionally has penguins visit. This is a restricted area / nesting site and is controlled by the National Parks.

Water temp is 12-14'C, air temp was 27'C
