African Penguin

African Penguin

African penguins, once abundant along southern Africa’s coast, are now endangered due to overfishing, habitat loss, and oil spills.

The Toronto Zoo participates in and contributes to the management and support of African penguins through research, husbandry, management, and education. Working with other accredited facilities, the Toronto Zoo helps maintain the genetic health and population numbers of African penguins in captivity and in the wild.

By adopting a Toronto Zoo animal, your support will help to safeguard the future of species, like the African penguin, for future generations. Help us to preserve and protect our planet, and the incredible wildlife that call it home.
