Three female and two male captive Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humbaldti) were observed in an enclosed exhibit over a period of 10 months to examine behavioral sex differences and to establish whether captive Humboldt penguins exhibit behavioral activity patterns. There were no statistically significant differences between the behaviors of males and females in six categories: resting, selfmaintenance, locomoting , lack of visibility, agonistic behaviors, or pair-directed behaviors. Although not statistically significant, the pair-directed activities of bowing and ecstatic displaying were found to have potential use for sexual identification. Females bowing to males accounted for 77% of the observed bows. Further, males were observed performing 68% of the observed ecstatic displays, while females performed only 32 % . Four behavioral phases were defined: molting, proximity, nesting, and "other. " Statistically significant behavioral differences occurred between the four phases for all ethogram behaviors with the exception of agonistic and pair-directed behaviors. Although housed under natural daylight and in an exhibit simulating their habitat in the wild, the captive birds failed to demonstrate a breeding season but bred throughout the study. However, this may have been influenced by one or more of the following factors: a ready supply of food; an air-filtered, temperature-controlled atmosphere; and the presence of an adequate number of nesting sites.
