African penguin By Anna Chunco
This story is dedicated to: • Brianna Gross because she loves penguins very much. She also thinks they’re cute.
The African penguin has a stripe on its belly. Their back is black and their belly is white. Their flippers are black too.
The African penguins nest in burrows that they dig out of their own excrement, called guano, or in areas under boulders or bushes.
African penguins breed within their coloneis; they do not travel to give birth. They hide from the sun and from predators like cats and seagulls. Eggs are laid in pairs and both parents help incubate them. Both parents also feed the newly-born chicks.
