 Yes, that's correct! South Africa and Namibia are home to the African penguin, also known as the jackass penguin due to its distinctive braying call. These penguins primarily inhabit coastal areas and are known for their black and white coloration, making them well-adapted to their oceanic environment. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their declining populations due to factors like habitat loss and climate change.
