The African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the Jackass Penguin (after its donkey-like braying call), is found on the south-western coast of Africa, living in colonies on 24 islands between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The largest colony is on Dyer Island, near Kleinbaai. The only penguin colonies still in existence on the African mainland are near Cape Town at Boulders Beach in Simonstown and Stony Point in Betty's Bay.
