These penguins will restore your faith in true love
Footage of two penguins strolling down a beach "hand-in-hand" has served as a timely reminder to people to never settle when it comes to love.
If you are fond of taking holidays along the coast, then you are familiar with the penguins of Boulders Beach near Simon's Town. The colony of African penguins is a marvel to witness and is the highlight of a trip to the Western Cape for many.
For one overseas tourist, a video of two penguins walking along the beach apparently holding hands has become a memory that resonated worldwide.
