Some penguins have been observed gathering around the dead and emitting sounds previously.

“The loss of Sphen is heartbreaking to the penguin colony, the team, and everyone who has been inspired or positively impacted by Sphen and Magic’s story,” said Rachel Dilly, general manager at Sea Life, adding that the pair “captivated the world”.

“The team’s focus is now on Magic, who will soon prepare for his first breeding season without Sphen,” she said.

In tributes on the aquarium’s website, fans of the couple spoke about the joy and inspiration the penguin lovers had brought to their lives.

“Sphen’s gonna be having fun surfing the rainbow waves up there,” said Indah. “Penguin superstar, Sphen, thank you for being you. We will miss you.”
