It is also known as the Jackass Penguin for its donkey-like bray, although several species of South American penguins produce the same sound. It is the only penguin species that breeds in Africa and its presence gave name to the Penguin Islands.<\/p>\n<p>With chicks, Boulders Beach, South Africa<br \/>\nTwo colonies were established by penguins in the 1980s on the mainland near Cape Town, namely Boulders Beach near Simon\u2019s Town and Stony Point in Betty\u2019s Bay. Mainland colonies probably only became possible in recent times due to the reduction of predator numbers, although the Betty\u2019s Bay colony has been attacked by leopards. The only other mainland colony is in Namibia, but it is not known when this was established.<br \/>\nBoulders Beach is a tourist attraction, for the beach, swimming and the penguins. The penguins will allow people to approach them as close as a meter (three feet).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\/\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to submit your Cape Town news.<\/p>\n<p>This image \u2013  \u2013 was automatically curated and published using the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\">WP Robot<\/a> plugin \u2013 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to try <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\">WP Robot for WordPress<\/a> \u2013 a massive time saver.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Matched Content --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2152111271423935\" data-ad-slot=\"5642349242\" data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" \/><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Cape Town Boulders penguin colony tagged image from photographer \u2013 BRJ INC. as published on Flickr.
