African penguins are about 60cm in length, and weigh between 2.4 and 3.6 kg. They have a black back and a white belly with a black chin and face patch separated from the crown by a broad white band. They have a narrow black band across the chest and down the flanks towards their legs.
Males tend to be a little larger than females and have heavier bills, but these differences can usually only be seen when a pair is seen together. Juveniles have blue-grey backs and a light belly and they lack the white face markings and black breast band of the adults. They have bare, red bare patches above of the eyes, and a few randomly placed black spots on the chest and belly. African penguins are similar to Humboldt Penguins, the main differences are that the Humboldt penguins are heavier, have proportionately longer flippers and a narrower white band on the head.
