Comment on Sumida Aquarium Posts 2026 Penguin Relationship Chart, with Drama and Breakups

Comments

The one detail that always gets me with these charts: penguins who've just been broken up with will refuse to eat.

Also apparently one female ended six relationships in a single year, and the staff description of her, translated from Japanese, is something like "basically demonic."

And yes, some penguins have developed crushes on their caretakers. Which the aquarium has also charted. Professionally.
