African Penguin Awareness Day - Behind-the-Scenes Tour
Oct 11, 2025Happy African Penguin Awareness Day!
Get ready to waddle into the world of one of the most lovable and endangered seabirds on the planet, the African Penguin! These tuxedoed charmers may look ready for a fancy dinner party, but their real mission is survival. Today, we’re celebrating the incredible work being done to help them recover and return to the wild!
Have you ever wondered what it takes to rescue, rehabilitate, and release penguins back into the ocean?
Enjoy watching this 4-part behind-the-scenes video series at SANCCOB saves seabirds, South Africa’s leading seabird rescue and rehabilitation center.
Part 1: Meet the Penguins in the Home Pen
In this first video, step inside the Home Pen, where penguins rest, recover, and enjoy their days basking in the sunshine. You’ll meet some of SANCCOB’s feathered residents and learn how the team keeps them healthy, happy, and ready to swim free again.
Then, stay tuned, tomorrow you’ll meet SANCCOB’s tiniest and cutest residents, the penguin chicks! In our next video, you’ll visit the Nursery, where baby penguins are cared for and fed until they’re ready to join the older birds.
Enjoy your day and the awesome animals around you :-)
