The African penguin ( Spheniscus demersus ), also known as the jackass penguin and black footed penguin is a species of penguin, confined to southern African waters.

They were then able to visit the penguin colony and collect several emperor penguin eggs.

This baby penguin is too cute!

And when you clean a penguin, you first have to spray it with a degreaser.

Dee Boersma Pay attention to penguins

And also, we know that it's not only Galapagos penguins that are in trouble, but Magellanics and many other species of penguins.

And in addition, about 3,000 penguin chicks were rescued and hand raised.

Here a penguin goes up to the edge and looks out to see if the coast is clear.

So when I went to study the Magellanic penguins, I didn't have any problems.

but this is the extreme that penguins all over the world have to adapt to.

A reduction in penguin nests in Admiralty Bay, South Shetland Island, was also reported.

And what the penguins show us and these are all the little dots from where the penguins' positions were for penguins in incubation in 2003 and what you see is some of these individuals are going 800 kilometers away from their nests.

This required a trip in the depths of winter to obtain eggs in an appropriately early stage of incubation.

So it's a real desert for not only for the penguins and the sea lions and the marine iguanas ...

Nevertheless they are not closely related to penguins, but rather are believed to be an example of moderate convergent evolution.

In some years, like this year, we found more than 80 percent of the adult penguins dead on the beach were covered in oil.

But as you can see, the pigeon, or a chicken or anything else, another bird, has kind of a weird looking hand, because the hand is a wing.

When I counted penguins for the first time and tried to do a census, we just counted all the individual beaks that we could around all these islands.

Here you see in 2003 these are all the dots of where the penguins are they were raising a little over a half of a chick.

This is climate change. Now this has really been a fun study because I put satellite tags on the back of these Magellanic penguins.

Magellanic penguins, the ones that I work on, they can dive to about 90 meters and they can stay down for about 4.6 minutes.

Namibia obtained full independence from South Africa in 1990, with the exception of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands, which remained under South African control until 1994.

Most important thing is Only you can change yourself, and only you can change the world and make it better, for people as well as penguins.

So a lot has happened in the last 40 years, and what I learned when I came to the Galapagos is the importance of wild places, wild things, certainly wildlife, and the amazing qualities that penguins have.

So the oceans don't always act together they act differently, but that is the kind of variation that penguins have to live with, and it's not easy.

The port of Walvis Bay and the offshore Penguin Islands had been annexed by the Cape Colony under the British crown by 1878 and had become an integral part of the new Union of South Africa at its creation in 1910.

And so we have this penguin project. The Wildlife Conservation Society has funded me along with a lot of individuals over the last 27 years to be able to produce these kinds of maps.

Think of penguins as ocean sentinels, says Dee Boersma they're on the frontlines of sea change. Sharing stories of penguin life and culture, she suggests that we start listening to what penguins are telling us.

And if you look along the coast of Argentina, where I work now, at a place called Punta Tombo the largest Magellanic penguin colony in the world down here about 44 degrees south latitude you see that there's great variation here.

And then for a real beginner, you would go down even further and elaborate more say, Open the oven, preheat, wait for the light to go out, open the door, don't leave it open too long, put the penguin in and shut the door ... whatever.
