Penguins are aquatic, flightless birds that are highly adapted to life in the water. Their distinct tuxedo-like appearance is called countershading, a form of camouflage that helps keep them safe in the water. Penguins do have wing-bones, though they are flipper-like and extremely suited to swimming.

Robberg Nature Reserve, situated 8 km south of Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route, South Africa, is not only a nature reserve, but also a national monument.

Visitors can find out more at the Nelson Bay Cave interpretive center.
