Moulting African Penguins.

by luckyzen - last update: Nov 17, 2006

With my weight, I have to hide!
Oh!.....Why am I so big and fluffy?
Aah! Those growing pains!

Growing up is......hard!

It is interesting to know that The African Penguin moult between November and January.
During this period which could last btween 19-20 days the birds cannot go to sea and have to fast for at least three weeks!
When one has a closer look at them, they can look quite miserable, and appears twice as large as their parents.
They do however lose half of their body weight during "their fasting period.":~))
How long still to go?

 Hi Hi! I love penguines :-) They are so lovely. And my co-workers sometimes say that I look like a penguine.(I guess, it is because I sometimes wear black coat and walk like a penguine :-) )

 Thanks for visiting my Southlake pages, Faiza! I just love checking out your PENGUINS--they are so cute! Their habitat looks rugged indeed....

 A great work, Faiza! The pictures are superb and the information very useful. I like every one of your pages and I wait all the day that you bring here new images. Best regards from Vienna, and thanks for the lovely comments on my webpage! Gabriela
