Staff and visitors at Sydney’s Sea Life Aquarium are mourning after one-half of its world-famous gay Gentoo penguin couple died earlier this month. Yesterday, the aquarium’s manager Richard Dilly confirmed 11yo Sphen has waddled over the rainbow bridge and said they’re still looking into why his health began to deteriorate. Sphen and Magic went viral in 2018 after coupling up and adopting 2 chicks. That led to a lot of media coverage, Mardi Gras floats, features in TV shows and even a shoutout in the NSW school curriculum… Aquarium staff say after Magic was taken to see Sphen’s body, he began singing, starting off the rest of their penguin pals. Dilly says Sphen will be remembered for the “icon he was, the unique bond he shared with Magic and the positive impact he made in the world”.
