What is Penguin Town about?
Penguin Town is about a very special breed of penguin – a rowdy colony of endangered African penguins that waddle the streets of Simon’s Town, south of Cape Town in South Africa, every summer and live among the local human population, causing traffic jams and mayhem wherever they go.
Having adapted to the hot weather and able to travel long distances, the penguins show up every summer to breed – taking over beaches, streets and even car parks in their quest to mate and prevent extinction.
As well as featuring scenes of the birds mixing with 21st century human life (falling over surfboards and strolling down the centre of busy streets), the series introduces some of the quirkiest of the quirky birds, including a troublemaking group nicknamed the ‘Car Park Gang’ and cuddly newlyweds Mr and Mrs C, all of whom seem to have VIP status in the African town as they live, breed, and try to survive.
