Nature's Most Loyal Lovers

Magellanic penguins are the most loyal lovers in the animal world, as asserted by a finding after a 30-year study of the breed where researchers placed metal identity bands on the flippers of 50000 birds on the southern coast of Argentina, the Daily Mail from London reported.

One particular pair of Magellanic penguins, much to the surprise of biologists, have always returned faithfully to each other after long solo journeys totaling over three lakh kilometers over a 16-year period , a study has found. What a great unity and loyalty towards each other? Should one wonder at this couple or the nature for such a rare conduct?

Secondly let us look at the relationship maintained by a human couple as shown below:

  • Village:  Punnapakkam near Poondi in Tiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu State in India.
  • Married for 70 years before their death this week.
  • Bride's age was 12 years & the bridegroom's age was 21 years at the time of marriage.
  • Palayam was 91 years old when he died & Bhagya lakshmi was 82 years old. The gap between their deaths was only a few minutes. The lady collapsed the moment she heard the news of her husband's death.  
  •  
  •  
  • What a bond and reletionship between the two elderly persons? Hats off to this couple because some of the newly-wed couples are unable to live together even for a few days or months these days.
