Here, she's keeping a close eye on a particularly amusing bird: the African penguin. Accompanying her is wildlife researcher Jessica, who has been monitoring the populations of the colonies for many years. Now Anna is helping her with her daily penguin tasks: feeding sick animals, counting molting penguins, weighing young chicks, and cleaning nesting boxes. Anna hadn't expected to find any penguins in Africa at all. But in the south of the continent, the sea is cold and teeming with schools of fish. Large colonies nest on the offshore islands. On land, the African penguins waddle around clumsily with their stubby wings sticking out, panting like dogs and snapping at each other. But in the water, they are transformed: there, they reveal themselves to be well-camouflaged, incredibly agile swimmers. They dive, hunt for fish, and dart out of the water - always on guard against their enemies, such as fur seals or sharks. Anna hadn't expected to find any penguins in Africa. But the African penguins are threatened. Due to overfishing, they are finding less and less food for their young. Oil spills have also drastically reduced their population in recent decades.
