Introduction

Translated text: Located in Cape Town, the penguin colony, also known as Boulders Penguin Colony, is the preferred place to observe penguins. It is estimated that around 3,000 penguins inhabit this area. The months of February to August are the breeding season, where one can witness a group of responsible penguin parents. During November to December, it is the molting season, where they swim vigorously to replace their old feathers with new ones. No matter when you visit, you can enjoy the different appearances of the penguins. Additionally, this rocky beach is also a habitat for other birds, whales, seals, sharks, dolphins, and other marine creatures, providing a feast for the eyes.
