Magellanic Penguins - Magdalena Island

Location: Magdalena Island, Punta Arenas, Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region, Chile
The Magellanic Penguins go about their daily lives on Magdalena Island, between Chile and Tierra del Fuego where they live.

They mainly make nests in burrows in the soil. They are vulnerable to predators such as sea lions, giant petrels and leopard seals.

They eat fish, squid and crustaceans. Overfishing in certain areas has led to a decline in their numbers.
