Penguins mate often because they mate for pleasure or fun! Many animais mate often during their mating period, which is designed to insure the success of the reproduction cycle. What is different about penguins is not how many times they mate, but when. Many pairs mate even after the chicks have hatched or at any time up to molting, even when there is not a chance in the world that the mating will produce anything. Because the reason during such periods is clearly not to produce a chick, I will say it is for fun. Watching so many penguins mate, it is difficult to ignore the excitement and happy behavior during the encounter and the care and amor they display after it. On topo, início of that, unpaired males are known to forcibly take young females, and cheating is so common that in almost two thirds of the pairs at least one of the partners cheats on its mate. An interesting point on that subject is that in several big research studies, the chicks were given a gene test to find out who their father was. Not even in one case did an ex-pair affair lead to a chick. In other words, penguins not only (in my opinion) do it for fun; they also cheat for even mais fun.
It is believed that, once in the dark deep water, penguins use echolocation, just like dolphins. When penguins are in dark, deep water with little or no light, the only way to find their prey is using a sonar system called echolocation. It is believed that in deep, dark water, penguins use echolocation just like dolphins. Unlike dolphins though, penguins use a ‘type of hearing’ called echolocation, similar to the way bats echolocate to find food. When a pinguim makes a noise in the water, it sends sound waves into the environment around it. Those waves bounce off nearby fishes or prey sources or objects, and some of them reflect back to the pinguim that made the noise. The water where penguins dive is very dark so they can’t see in dark water.
