Endangered Animals
This week's endangered animal
African Penguins
The African Penguin has seen a large decrease in numbers during the 20th century. This precious species is now endangered and the Penguin Promises Waddle is taking place this week. The African Penguin currently faces many threats and the population is dwindling at an alarming rate. Did you know historically, the decrease in numbers was from egg and guano harvesting? However, since these harvestings have stopped, marine pollution and depleted food sources from overfishing has led to the continuous decrease in numbers.
