Magellanic Penguin Humboldt Penguin Adventure World (Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture) has welcomed Magellanic penguins and Humboldt penguins to its family. They are currently undergoing quarantine in a non-public area and are scheduled to be open to the public from July 18, 2026 (Sat). Magellanic penguins inhabit the coasts of Argentina and Chile in South America and are representative penguins of the Patagonia region, known for its vast seas and grasslands. Humboldt penguins live by the "Humboldt Current," a cold current flowing along the coasts of Peru and Chile, and are adapted to rocky coastlines and dry environments. Both species inhabit the temperate zones of the Southern Hemisphere. While they look similar to the Cape penguins living in our park, they have adapted to different ocean currents, climates, and coastal environments. By comparing the three species, you can enjoy their differences and similarities while contemplating the environmental adaptation and diversity of living organisms. With the addition of new members, Adventure World becomes the only park where you can encounter 10 types of penguins, making it the facility with the largest number of species and individuals bred in captivity worldwide (according to our own research). As an "edutainment" park where visitors can feel the strength of life, the wonder of existence, and beauty by embracing the individuality of each penguin, we will continue to move forward.
