Jackass penguin, Simon's Town, South Africa. - Il jackass penguin, chiamato così per il suo verso che assomiglia a quello di un asino, non si trova in nessun'altra parte del mondo se non nelle coste del Sud Africa. Il numero di questi splendidi animali è purtroppo sceso del 90% negli ultimi 60 anni e questa caduta continua. Questo esemplare maschio di jackass appartiene alle nuove colonie di nidificazione sulla terraferma nella città di Simon, dove un recinto eretto assicura a queste creature di vivere indisturbati e impedisce gli attacchi dei predatori. La colonia è cresciuto fino a più di 100 coppie nidificanti in questi ultimi anni. - The jackass penguin, named because of its donkey-like bray, is found nowhere in the world except off the coast of southern Africa. Penguin numbers have decreased by at least 90% in 60 years and this fall is continuing. This exemplar of male jackass belongs to the new mainland breeding colonies at Simon's town, where an erected fence is successfully preventing human disturbance and attacks by predators. The colony has grown to more than 100 nesting pairs in the last few years.
