Meet Our African Penguins

You know them. You love them. But can you name them? Identify the Academy's African penguins with this field guide to our colony.

Our birds may look similar, but their colored wing bands (and unique penguin-alities) help staff and guests tell them apart. Males are banded on the right wing, females on the left, and couples typically share a wing band color. Enjoy observing our penguins frolic, feed, swim, and preen!

Penguin feedings are 10:30 am and 3 pm daily. Tune in to our live penguin webcam, streaming 24/7!
