Description: The African Penguins, also known as Jackass Penguins or Spheniscus demersus, are returning from their hunting grounds in the open sea back to the safety of the island. On their perilous journey, they must navigate through the territory of Great White Sharks and evade the lurking fur seals in the kelp forest. Only through a swift chase over and under water do they reach their destination safely. It is only on the island that they find peace and protection from the dangers of the ocean.
