Mr. Bear-ly sneaks up on these comical creatures. 

African penguins or jackass penguins are the only penguins that breed in Africa and are found nowhere else. Major current threats to the colony include competition with commercial fisheries and oil pollution. The ones at Boulder Beach near Cape Town are accessible to tourists and are unusually tame however being a mainland site are vurnerable to predators and exposed to diseases.
