Unlike many other penguins(企鹅), African penguins do not live in the coldest areas of the earth，but on warm sunny coasts of South Africa. They are the first penguin species (物种) discovered by humans.

African penguins grow to 60 - 70 cm tall and weigh 3 -4 kg. They have pink patches above their eyes. Blood (血液) is sent to these patches to be cooled by the outside air.The hotter the weather gets, the pinker the patches appear.Each African penguin has a unique pattern of black spots(斑点) on the white chest. These spots,like human fingerprints, can be used to identify the penguins.

African penguins feed mainly on fish. These flightless birds swim about 40 km every day for food. When they are very hungry, they sometimes cover a distance of110 km. Their top swimming speed is about 20 km per hour.They can dive as deep as120 meters and hold their breath for 2.5 minutes underwater.African penguins moult(换羽) once a year for about 20 days.During this time, they can't hunt because their new feathers are not yet waterproof(防水的). Without food, they lose nearly half of their body weight.

 African penguins live in groups called colonies. They can live for 10- 15 years in the wild, but those in protected environments can live for up to 30 years.

“A smile is a smile only when it is shown on your face,”Keiko Kawano,a successful businesswoman who used to be a radio host, told the Japan Times."Even if you're thinking about smiling or that you're happy, if you have no expression,it won't reach the person you communicate with."
