Izzy and Darwin hatched in captivity in 2010, and are expected to live to be around 25, although magellanic penguins scarcely survive to be 20 in the wild. The breed is around 2 feet tall, weighs about 10 pounds, and thrives on a diet of fish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93868\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93868\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-0-1024x614.png\" alt=\"Izzy and Darwin\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-0-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-0-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-0-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-0.png 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Izzy and Darwin are among the first to experience the Just Connect exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. (Shedd Aquarium)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The birds are also very curious, and Shedd penguin caretaker Katy Roxbury said Izzy and Darwin\u2019s recent field trips spread joy to many who saw them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cField trips are something that we typically do with these guys,\u201d Roxbury said. \u201cBut given the current climate and the pandemic, we went on a field trip and it was posted on social media and went viral. It was what people wanted to see and needed to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Magellanic penguins are monogamous by nature, a trait not common to all penguin breeds. Izzy and Darwin are a bonded pair, which means the two will be devoted to each other for life. Roxbury said each penguin has distinct characteristics, and Izzy and Darwin have many opposite characteristics. Izzy is quick to warm up to new people and quick to learn new behaviors, which makes her a great penguin for shows and audience interactions. On the other hand, Darwin tends to be shy, slower to warm up to new people, and will sometimes freeze up and stare at the audience when performing a penguin parade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are all so different,\u201d Roxbury said. \u201cThey have their different characteristics and their different traits. They all have things that they like or dislike, or seem to like or dislike. Izzy or Darwin, their behavior and how we interact with them \u2014 we can&#8217;t do that with all of our penguins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A total of 30 magellanic and rockhopper penguins live together, according to the aquarium website. Rockhopper penguins are native to some of the same parts of South America and are slightly smaller than magellanics. Their black and white coloration has no bands, and they can be recognized by their distinctive red eyes, orange beaks, and yellow crest feathers that look like eyebrows. While the breed does form bonded pairs for extended periods of time, Roxbury said a rockhopper couple is not necessarily in it for life. Rockhoppers also hop around when on land, while magellanics waddle.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93870\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93870\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-3-1024x680.png\" alt=\"Magellanics and rockhoppers\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-3-1024x680.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-3-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-3-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-3.png 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">While magellanic penguins and rockhoppers coexist without issue, the respective breeds often keep their distance as rockhoppers tend to prefer higher ground (Thomas Smith\/MEDILL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Magellanic penguins go through migration season, nesting season and molting season over the course of a year, with the birds spending more time in the water during migration season and more time on land during molting season. During nesting season, penguin couples build nests out of rocks and cut-up garden hose and may hatch fluffy gray chicks which they raise for several months. Izzy and Darwin have no hatchlings of their own, but Roxbury said the aquarium staff anxiously awaits what each nesting season will bring. Although Izzy has a brother who lives at Shedd, magellanic penguins do not recognize family members.<\/p>\n<p>Magellanics are great swimmers, reaching speeds up to 15 mph in the water. The breed has small, densely packed feathers that they maintain by preening with oil from a gland under their tail according to the aquarium website. Each year the penguins will molt all their feathers then take several weeks to replume on land. Izzy and Darwin also sneeze to excrete the salt in their diet, use the bathroom roughly every 10 minutes, self-regulate their food intake, and express themselves to each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou might see them duck their head and shake a little bit,\u201d Roxbury said. \u201cThat is the behavior that we see penguins do with a mate or with a bird that they may be courting as a mate, and they will call back and forth with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93871\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-93871\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-4-1024x681.png\" alt=\"Magellanic waddle\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-4-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-4-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-4-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/penguins-4.png 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Penguins are social animals, and a waddle of magellanics coexists without a social hierarchy (Thomas Smith\/MEDILL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a typical day, Izzy and Darwin will swim, eat fish, and socialize as much as possible.
