22、t the University of Turin,Italy,and his coworkers recorded Africanpenguins from three different colonies(群体)over three years,and also observed the behavioralpatterns of one of the colonies to see which penguins were partners or friendly.They then analyzed specific vocal(声音的)calls,which the penguins
