This penguin was hiding in between the rocks, the one below was not so shy and was standing on the beach.

This photos were taken by me using my I phone, at Boulders Beach, South-Africa

I hope you enjoyed it.

Hey, that's one of my friends! :-)

Send my greetings to your friend, thank you for the comment

Great catch. Good luck in the challenge. What are your thoughts on the challenge being two weeks long?

Thanks for your comment, 2 weeks is a bit long for me.

Haha, this is great @rynow, that penguin looks like he is posing for the photograph :)

It does, thanks for the comment

You very welcome! :)

He is so cute!

Very cute indeed.

Is it just me, or has ANYONE never touched a penguin in their life?

Hi @sidwrites, I also haven't touched one, there are actually signs warning you to not try it as they can hurt you with that big beak of theirs.

Wow. I didn't know penguins were in South Africa

I have not seen them on any other beach, but on this beach there are quite a lot, they breed there.

Wow. that's amazing. They look so tiny

They are smaller than what I expected.

How small are they?

I would guess about 60 cm tall.

Wow :O that's small

Very nice post. Penguins are so cute. I just love the commercial of several little penguins being tucked into bed in some up scale hotel. Sorry can't remember which one. But its an adorable commercial. Now following you!

Thank you very much for the nice comment

Hey nice pictures! I very new and I don't know hot to send private messages to people, I am sorry to write in your post, but can you help me to understand why I post a picture but I can't see the small preview when I posted it. Maybe you can see my post called "Big White - Canada" and you can see that there is no picture but if you open you can see it. It is in steemitphotochallenge tag. Thank you very much if you can help, I am trying to learn this social media..but it is quite complicated! Thanks !

Hi @sallivan17, I don't know what is wrong. I use postimage.org to upload photos, then I copy the Markdown link (4th from the top) and paste it into stackedit.io, from where I copy my entire post and past it in Steemit. I paste my photo on the top of my post. I see you have also posted it on the top of your post. You can look at videos from @papa-pepper for new steemians for tips on posting.

Hey Thanks! I'll try!!! :)

You are welcome

Very nice! I have never seen a penguin in the wild, just at zoos

There were quite a number of penguins on this beach. What is interesting that they were only this beach and on no other beach close by!!

wow very nice :) really have to see penguins in the wild one time :)

Yes they are very nice, you should visit South Africa, at this particular beach

wow so many :) Yeah I definitely have to visit this beach one time ;)

Yes there are many, you are not allowed on the beach, but you can come very close to them, at some places they come up to against the fence.

ah ok, that's good that the beach is not open for the public :)
