The ~gorgeous song~ to expect if you ever visit a Magellanic penguin colony 🎶
This is how these penguins communicate, maintain social bonds, recognize mates, establish & defend territory.

It’s #TaylorSwift Tuesday at the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre (CRCC) in Somaliland! ✨

#TaylorSwiftTheCheetah (rescued from the illegal pet trade) has made a new best friend: a playful young male cub we’ve now named… Travis Kelce (or Kelce for short). 💛🐾
