    Very nice!

    I'm headed there in August, 2016. How far away from them were you, and what gear did you use?

    Thanks.     Posted 9 years ago

      Hi Scott,

      All we used on the entire trip was an 80-200mm zoom lens. I would guess that I was about 50-75 yards away for this shot, but you can get closer. On some shots I took I was only 6 feet away. (they are very tolerant).       Posted 9 years ago

The African Penguin

The African Penguin, also known as the Black-footed Penguin is a species of penguin, confined to southern African waters. It is also widely known as the "Jackass" Penguin for its donkey-like bray, although several species of South American penguins produce the same sound.
