This print by Artie Photography captures the enchanting sight of a pair of African Penguins gracefully walking along the shore at Boulders Beach near Simons Town, South Africa. The African Penguin is a unique species that can only be found on the south-western coast of Africa, making it an extraordinary sight to behold. These penguins have established two colonies in the mainland near Cape Town, with Boulders Beach being one of them. Their presence has given name to the Penguin Islands and adds to the rich wildlife diversity in this region. With their distinctive black and white plumage, these penguins stand out against the sandy beach backdrop. The African Penguin is also known as the jackass penguin due to its donkey-like bray.
