Ocean Life - Magellanic penguins: South America's historic coastal travelers
Ocean Life · 0:39
First recorded by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520, the Magellanic penguin is the most abundant member of the banded penguin group. These seabirds breed along the rugged coasts of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile, as well as on the Falkland Islands. During non-breeding seasons, some individuals migrate northward along the Atlantic coastline as far as Brazil and Uruguay. With their striking black and white plumage bands, these resilient birds remain categorized as a species of least concern.
