African Penguin | Simon's Town - Western Cape, South Africa (IMG_9213.jpg)

African Penguin

Sometimes they travel considerable distances to feed, up to 30-70 km, although they have been known to travel over 200 km. Particularly when they are feeding demanding older chicks, penguins will spend much of their days at sea feeding. On average a penguin will eat about 300 g of fish a day, although this will increase to over 1 kg before moulting or when feeding older chicks.
