What the fuck do they eat? There can't be any fish in those sewers.

Isn't this the same picture as yesterday's?

i believe that another species of penguin,the little blue, lives alongside people (and under their houses) in Australia and New Zealand.

@2, i'm guessing they're breeding or loafing, which means that they commute.

I look forward to them mobilizing like the roving packs of dogs in certain Indian cities. Next up, flocks of penguins taking what they want, when they want, from unsuspecting fishmongers. Or maybe we have to domesticate penguins before they get that crafty? I am going to the zoo to get me a domestercated penguin right now.

In separate, but related news:
"the sole resident armadillo is the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), which is most common in the central southernmost states, particularly Texas. Their range is as far east as South Carolina and Florida and as far north as Nebraska; they have been consistently expanding their range over the last century due to a lack of natural predators and have been found as far north as Illinois, Indiana and southern Ontario."

That poor little guy doesn't stand a chance. If there are fish in there he'll have to fight rats to get it.

"Urban Penguin" would make a great name for a rock band.

Honestly, Charles, I can't tell whether this is a penguin, a dog, or a freaking SKUNK. (But I find the idea of urban penguins very intriguing, if true!)

I'm the photographer who took the photo and as can be seen from the details on flickr the penguin had nested in Simon's Town on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula not actually Cape Town. It still heads down to the sea to go fishing but this one had wandered further up past the beach and other nesting sites and had made it's nest in the drain. I guess it was down to competition for nesting sites closer to the sea; or this one was just lazy or utilizing whatever sites it came across.
