The Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) is a South American penguin, breeding in coastal Argentina, Chile and the Falkland Islands, with some migrating to Brazil where they are occasionally seen as far north as Rio de Janeiro. It is the most numerous of the Spheniscus penguins. The Magellanic penguin was named after Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who spotted the birds in 1520. We can see them as part of our trip AUSTRAL SOUTH AMERICA #adventurer #eltitilife #outdoor

Spheniscus magellanicus, Magellanic Penguin. Fairly common to locally common; often seen in inshore waters and from ferries. Breeds around coasts of southern Chile, Argentina, and in the Falklands; nests in colonies in underground burrows. Adult penguins can regularly dive to depths of between 20 m to 50 m deep in order to forage for prey such as cuttlefish, squid, krill and other crustaceans. They ingest sea water with their prey. Their salt-excreting gland rids the salt from their bodies.

Magellanic penguin, penguin species known for its crescent of white feathers and a small region of pink flesh on the face and a horseshoe-shaped band of black feathers on the chest and abdomen. It is found primarily in the Falkland Islands and several islands along the coast of southern South America.

The only penguin in Galápagos. Small with a white belly. Adult has a dark horseshoe on breast and sides, and a white line that starts behind the eye and circles down to the throat; young birds lack these features. When swimming on the surface of the water, it may vaguely resemble a loon or duck. Usually stays close to shore, and rests on rocky outcrops, where several may congregate. Unafraid of humans and often swims quite close to snorkeling tourists.
