I don't believe Magellenic penguins breed here...?

Strictly speaking you are correct - approximately 500,000 Magellanic Penguins breed on Punta Tombo, which is actually a bit south of Peninsula Valdez itself but is in the same general area. I should have made the distinction - but the point about predators is still the same. See http://www.pbs.org/edens/patagonia/tomboanm.htm.
