penguin social life

The Kyoto Aquarium still has a webpage from 2020 that describes the dating relationships of penguins in their care.

Somebody noticed it back in 2020 and posted a popular twitter thread, which I've just noticed.  Someone kindly translated the whole thing to English, which I'm including below.

Social life is easier if you just focus on the queer penguins who raise chicks together.  Take your pick.  Skipper and Ping at the Berlin Zoo, Electra and Viola at Oceanogràfic València, or Magic and Sphen at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium.

Heterosexuals are weird.
