The world’s 2nd largest emperor penguin colony is believed to have been effectively wiped out overnight, with 1000s of chicks drowning after an ice shelf in Antarctica collapsed. Since the collapse in 2016, no breeding has been detected in the area.https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/emperor-penguins-deaths-sea-ice-collapse-climate-change-antarctic-a8885641.html …

Would be depressing, except for the part where most of them moved to another colony and started breeding, again. Crazy how this world is designed to figure thungs out....

“But the rise in numbers at Dawson-Lambton does not account for all the numbers lost at Halley Bay... models suggest that emperor penguins numbers are set to fall dramatically, losing 50-70% of their numbers before the end of this century...as a result of climate change.”
