About the African Penguin
Of the 17 species of penguins, the African penguin is the only one to live on the continent of Africa. Like other penguins, this species is somewhat clumsy on land. In the water it gracefully uses its wings as flippers, propelling itself up to 15 miles per hour. It typically dives to depths of over 30 meters (more than 90 feet!) and can stay underwater for as long as two minutes. African penguins hunt a variety of fish including mackerel, herring, and anchovies.
