What is a "jackass penguin"?

A jackass penguin, also known as the African penguin or black-footed penguin, is a medium-sized penguin species found along the southwestern coast of Africa. It has a unique appearance with a black and white body, a black face with a distinctive stripe pattern, and pink patches of skin above its eyes. Despite its comical name, the jackass penguin is a skilled swimmer and diver, relying on its strong wings and webbed feet to navigate the ocean waters in search of food. It is a social bird, often forming large breeding colonies on rocky shores, where it constructs burrows or nests in which to lay its eggs. The jackass penguin is currently listed as endangered due to habitat loss, overfishing, and pollution, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.
