Black-Footed Penguins...

...also known as African Penguins or Spheniscus Demersus, are native to the coastline of Southern Africa and do not tolerate extreme cold well (unlike some of their heartier kin). They love the water and spend most of their lives there, coming to shore only to raise young and molt.

Have a pattern of stripe and spots on their chests that is unique for each penguin (just like your fingerprints).
