An average of 72% of penguins returns every year to mate with the same pair. They are known for their fidelity to their mates. The males return to their the same nest site and hope that their female pair returns to the same nest as well. It is called the "nest site fidelity."

As for some species, a short three-week mating period starts late in October. During this time, males and females hope to return to their nests together. But, sometimes this plan does not go well.

Aviculturist Laura Dray explained in a video, "There are penguin breakups, but the reasons are often strictly logistical." The male of a mated pair will sometimes return after the female to find his mate has moved on. The flightless bird also has the Penguin divorce, it is when the bird chooses another mate, in which primarily after the death of a mate. However, like the viral case, it has an average of 26% of penguin separation and the female change their mate.

The predictability of penguin mating has been challenged in the past. Scientists have observed female penguins turning to prostitution to help build their nests, offering themselves to male penguins in exchange for rocks, according to National Geographic.
