Magellanic Penguins are a species of penguin native to the coasts of South America, particularly in Argentina and Chile. They are medium-sized, standing about 24 inches tall and weighing between 5 to 14 pounds. These penguins are easily recognized by their black and white plumage, with a distinctive band of white feathers that runs from their eyes to their neck. These penguins are known for their migratory behavior, often traveling long distances between their breeding and feeding grounds. They primarily feed on small fish and squid, using their excellent swimming skills to catch prey. Magellanic Penguins typically nest in burrows or under bushes, where they lay two eggs during the breeding season.
