Often you find that a species of a penguin is named after an Island where it is found e.g Galapagos Island penguin or in this case the surname of the explorer or person who found them
The genus of penguins is Spheniscus. There are multiple species of penguins within this genus, such as the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) and the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti).
Yes, penguins do live in Argentina along the southern coasts of the country. The most famous penguin colony in Argentina is found in the region of Patagonia, where species such as the Magellanic penguin and the southern rockhopper penguin can be observed.
The Humboldt penguin's from the coasts of Peru and Chile,The African (Blackfooted) penguin from Africa and the Magellanic penguins from the southern tip so south America are all species of penguin that live in warmer climates. I think the Humboldt is the closest thing to a jungle penguin.
Magellanic Penguin Spheniscus magellanicusNote that there are 4 species in the genus Spheniscus
Some species of penguins include the Emperor Penguin, King Penguin, Adélie Penguin, Gentoo Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Rockhopper Penguin, Macaroni Penguin, and Magellanic Penguin. These species are found in different regions of the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in Antarctica and parts of South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
i think the navigation system Magellan was named after Ferdinand Magellan The Magellanic penguins were named after Ferdinand Magellan.
Magellanic and Chinstrap
Magellanic Penguins eat small fish and cuddlefish. Because they have to swim out far, they are being damaged by currents and pollution, making them an endangered species.
