Comment on Penguins ❤️

  Contrary to popular belief, Emperor Penguins do not mate for life. They are serially monogamous, only having 1 mate per year, but between years fidelity is at around 15%.

  Was looking up something else on Wikipedia and stumbled onto this fact, thought I might as well share it.

    So my Spanish teacher was wrong. I hope she didn’t make up the language, too

  I dont see how the former links to the latter.

  I’d imagine being able to differentiate sex (I doubt they have a concept of gender as we understand it) is an evolutionary necessity, though.

    It’s no definite proof, it is just very unlikely that they can remember their former partner but can’t differentiate between sexes. They look all the same to us but not to them.

    Someone else debunked my comment but they still more likely go to their old partner so they seem to remember them
