Betty's Bay penguins
are protected on Stony Point by a fence. The fence is there to protect
them from enemies such as humans and wild animals, like the leopard which
12 years ago came down from Disa Kloof and attacked the penguins, unfortunately
they all died. A few days later a farmer saw the leopard
and shot it.
There are between 200 and 250 penguins in
the Colony.
There are only two penguin colonies on the
mainland of South Africa. One of them is Stony Point, the other is
Boulders Beach, in False Bay. There are also some cormorants at Stony
Point.
