JAG_Ecalona: The one detail that always gets me with these charts: penguins who've just been broken up with will refuse to eat.Also apparently one female ended six relationships in a single year, and the staff description of her, translated from Japanese, is something like "basically demonic."And yes, some penguins have developed crushes on their caretakers. Which the aquarium has also charted. Professionally.

I was reading the Japanese version[1] so some of the romanizations might not match the English version.[1] https://www.sumida-aquarium.com/special/sokanzu/
RyJones: I took my mom there a few years ago, it is a really nice setup. If you’re in town, highly recommend.
