Rangers have had their hands full with African penguins who are wandering into the quiet streets during the national lockdown. A trio of dapper penguins have been filmed quickly - if somewhat clumsily - making their way down a Simon's Town road and onto pavements. While the rest of South Africa is dead quiet, it is currently peak penguin hatching season. The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) says its rangers currently have their hands full to keep African penguins from wandering into the quiet streets during the national lockdown. On Friday, it released a video of a trio of penguins, who went waddling on the streets of Simon’s Town outside Cape Town this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va4uG2ADh10 SANCCOB's Ronnis Daniels says the penguins usually get anxious when humans are too close. "But as there are a lot less vehicles and people they are enjoying having their territory back." SANCCOB rangers are doing their utmost to keep the penguins safe and redirect them back to the colony, she added. African penguins are only found in South Africa and Namibia. 1 Like

Nigerians would have killed and eaten them. Nothing roaming on our roads and streets. Not even dogs, cock or goat. Seems we have consumed all of our domestic and wildlife animals. Even birds that fly are not safe. Their was a country.... 5 Likes 1 Share |

The most abusive creatures (humans) are locked indoors,so it's only right that the Penguins enjoy this special moment in history. 1 Like |
