Una comparativa con el Pingüino Patagónico (Spheniscus magellanicus). Luego de la "zapateada" que sufrieron los pingüinos por los balleneros y loberos, los pingüinos patagónicos recién en el ´80 se comenzaron a ver en buen número nuevamente en el Canal de Beagle y formaron una población en la Isla Martillo, Archipielago Gable. También se sumó una pequeña colonia de Pingüino de Vincha, en crecimiento, que es residente y permanece en el invierno.
