INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that penguins mate with the same partner for life?

Unclear. Two sources on penguin breeding indicate pair bonds can be long-term but are not necessarily lifelong: one notes some penguins take multiple partners within a season, and a captive African penguin study reports partner changes occur when beneficial. Neither source directly tests the claim that penguins mate with the same partner for life.
