With every design comes a lot of research here at Jin Designs. And when designing Penguin, there was a lot to learn about these sea birds. As any penguin lover will know, they are some of the most loyal creatures on the planet. Most breeds of penguin choose a mate and stay with them for the rest of their lives. Here's a few interesting facts to share about penguins. Just like us humans, penguins spend their lives living in communities. These little village like setups are called rookeries. They protect each other from the cold and from predators in their groups. They are even known to take trips with their closest and extended family members! Once they have decided on a partner, male penguins search long and hard for the perfect gift to present their new love, it comes in the form of a beautiful, smooth pebble. It is common for male penguins to even fight other penguins for the pebble they’ve set their hearts on. If the penguin partner accepts the present, the pair will put the stone in a nest together which acts as a representation of their love and their commitment to creating a future together. When they do eventually have babies, both the mother and the father play large roles in taking care of their young. They share the roles of feeding, nurturing and parenting them. How adorable! Luckily for the friends and family of penguin lovers, there need not be any searching, fighting of pebble giving when they want to give a gift. Jin Designs has a collection of gorgeous illustrated penguin items which make for perfect presents.

Do penguins mate forever?

But these males mate for life, reuniting with the same female year after year during mating season. Despite their monogamous mating patterns, however, the birds really don't spend much time together, according to a new study.

With its spiky head plumage and intense red eyes, the southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome, seen above) looks more like a slightly predatory guy at a college party than a committed monogamous partner. But these males mate for life, reuniting with the same female year after year during mating season. Despite their monogamous mating patterns, however, the birds really don't spend much time together, according to a new study. Using GPS trackers mounted to the penguins' legs, scientists monitored 16 birds from a colony in the Falkland Islands over the course of a mating season. The data show that males arrived at the nesting site approximately 6 days before their female counterparts and stayed about 6 days longer. However, the short mating season means the pairs are only united for about 20 to 30 days a year. And when they were separated, it was usually by a large distance: During the winter months, partners were separated by an average distance of about 600 km, and one pair was observed as far as 2500 km apart, the team reports online today in Biology Letters. Despite the large spatial segregation, their habitats were quite similar, ruling out the possibility that partners are spending the winter months apart because of sex-based differences in habitat or food preference. So why don't the birds just stick together? So far it's still a mystery, but the team speculates that if the birds arrived at and left the nesting site at the same time, they'd be much more likely to spend the winter together. But because the females show up late and leave early, the cost of finding one another after a week of dispersing through the open ocean might not be worth it—it's easier to just meet back at the nesting site next year.
