This adoption is a first for this aquarium in Spain, but not a first for penguins in general!
Back in 2018, two male penguins at Sea Life Aquarium in Sydney made international headlines when they began displaying similar signs that they were ready for parenthood.
Sphen and Magic, who became close during breeding season, were given a dummy egg at first but eventually they were given a real egg to nurture. The pair shared incubating duties between them until the egg hatched. In 2019 it was revealed that the 'power couple' of Sphen and Magic were hoping to add to their family.
