Penguins are serially monogamous. They stay with one mate for the breeding season, but not necessarily the same mate each season. The rate of choosing the same mate in another year varies among the species of penguin.

Maybe if we only lived for 10 to 15 years we would have an easier time with the "for life"..

Female dingoes generally mate for life but the same doesn't hold true for males. Barn Owls are tricky. Like most birds, they exhibit social monogamy.
