No one told me it was a black tie affair! 🐧 . This is the African penguin, which can be found roaming the beaches at Boulders Beach outside Cape Town. . Fun fact 1: Penguins can drink salt water - they have something called the supraorbital gland, which is located just above their eye. This gland filters salt from their bloodstream which can be removed from their body by sneezing! 🤧 . Fun fact 2: A penguin's "tuxedo" is meant to camouflage! When they're swimming in the ocean they blend in with the dark water from above and blend in with the light sky from below. 🐧 . #southafrica #capetown #africanpenguin #penguin #boulderbeach #bouldersbeach #scicomm #science #animalscience
