Sound on for thirty seconds of early morning penguin vocalizations! 🐧 #AfricanPenguins tend to vocalize for a few reasons, including defending their territories, communicating with other birds, and mating calls. These various forms of penguin communication can be heard all throughout the Aquarium! If you notice, these birds sound a little like donkeys! In fact, the nickname for African penguins is "beach donkey" after their donkey-like calls, and we even have a bird in our colony named Beach Do
