The hours between sunset and sunup are prime dining time for 3,000 of this residential area's denizens. So if you're lucky enough to live by this unique beach southeast of Cape Town, step out at twilight and see the neighbors. But you probably won't want to join them for a bite, unless whole raw fish is your fancy. That's right, African penguins and people practically live next door to each other here on the famed Boulders Beach. The arrangement is an exception made by these increasingly rare birds, most of which shun the mainland to breed on tiny islets along the South African and Namibian coasts. But the Boulders bunch seem content sticking around to delight tourists and locals alike.
栖息的海雀
一只“海鹦鹉”的特写
边境之地的鸟儿
嘿，邻居们
喙对喙亲密互动
能够降低体温的鸟
不会飞，但很机灵
