Magellanic penguins always return to same mate after solo journeys totalling 200,000 miles. As the UK divorce rate continues to soar, a new study has today shown how marital harmony is thriving in the penguin world.

Scroll down for video Faithful: New research shows how a pair of Magellanic penguins were loyal to each other for 16 years (file picture) The findings come after a 30-year study of the breed where researchers placed metal identity bands on the flippers of 50,000 birds on the southern coast of Argentina.
