Abstract
⺠Magellanic penguins (MP) are vulnerable to oil spills but can be rehabilitated. ⺠From 2000 to 2010, six institutions rehabilitated, banded and released 2183 MP. ⺠Until December 2011, a total 41 rehabilitated MP were resighted post-release. ⺠Rehabilitated MP can survive for extended periods and return to nesting colonies. ⺠MP can travel thousands of km when released away from their breeding colonies.
