Images of the Day--The African Penguins

African penguins are pictured in Simon’s Town near Cape Town, South Africa. Africa’s only nesting penguin was reclassified as endangered last year, as they are nearly wiped out due to competition for food from commercial fisheries and shifting fish stocks. Birdlife International has warned that the African penguin, one of the world’s 18 penguin species, is edging closer to extinction. – Photos by AFP
