African Penguin

The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the Cape penguin or
South African penguin, is a species of penguin confined to southern African
waters. Like all extant penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body
and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat. Adults
weigh an average of 2.2–3.5 kg (4.9–7.7 lb) and are 60–70 cm (24–28 in) tall.
The species has distinctive pink patches of skin above the eyes and a black
facial mask. The body upperparts are black and sharply delineated from the
white underparts, which are spotted and marked with a black band. The pink
glands above their eyes help them with thermoregulation. To cope with changing
temperatures, blood is sent to the glands to be cooled by the air.
