Canadian actor Jeff Teravainen creates epic video of African penguins


The penguins at the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary in Gansbaai were the stars of their very own wildlife documentary, narrated by Canadian actor and VO artist, Jeff Teravainen.

Teravainen, known for his role as Lieutenant Anders in the TV series, Dark Matter and as Agent Stack on 12 Monkeys, was on a trip to South Africa recently with friend and fellow actor, Martin Copping.

A visit to Marine Dynamics in Gansbaai proved to be a day well spent, the duo were treated to some serious exhilarating fun with a shark cage dive experience before paying a visit to the charming tuxedo-wearing penguins at the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary.

A tick off his bucket list, Teravainen shares that he has wanted to dive with sharks in South Africa for the longest time and finally got the opportunity to get up close to these creatures in a thrilling and heart-pounding encounter.

Teravainen recounted his experience in a post he shared to social media:’Usually the water is quite clear and blue and you have good visibility. It’s just the luck of the draw. However, the low visibility definitely made for entertaining times. They were like ghosts, swimming around in the murk only feet away from us. Shadows. Then bang! One would charge straight into the cage!! Amazing!!’
