Best Answer

The average life span for penguins can be around 20 years in the wild depending on the species. In captivity that life span is generally a little longer...up to 5 years... due to a consistent healthy diet, less stress, no chance of predation and of course medical treatment for any health issues.

But each animal will be different.

Some penguins have been recorded living in captivity up to 30+ years but these events are rare.
