Watch these unique birds zoom through the water to catch fish as zookeepers feed them their dinner.
The Magellanic penguin’s common name comes from the Straits of Magellan, a series of waterways at the southern tip of South America, where this species of penguin is found.
Magellanic penguins are known for their monogamous, long-lasting partnerships, with some pairs staying together for many years.
