Four new emperor penguin groups discovered in Antarctica | BBC News

Satellite imagery has identified four new groups of Emperor penguins across Antartica.

It brings the number of known nesting sites around the White Continent to 66.

With the discoveries, scientists believe they now know the whereabouts of all the world's remaining breeding pairs.

It's vital information for conservationists monitoring a species that's under increasing pressure as a result of climate change.

Penguins are very brave resilient birds. I don't know what hope there is for them in the long run but they are certainly not going to go without a fight.

Poor penguins are gutted that humans have spotted them.

Why not just get to the point? As in “Experts have identified more penguin hangouts, but no additional penguins.”

I don't know how much you know about AI but according to Geoffrey Hinton it's inevitable we will be outsmarted. Just like the nature created us and then though 'opps' as we started to destroy it, we might be the Emperor Penguins in the future - beloved and yet helpless. Monitoring ? I bet if we could communicate with those penguins they just say 'fuck...they found us'. 🙂

Antarctica land why don’t the penguins find some hard ground

[sebastianguerre]

I'm confused about this story? Data seems to show that the Polar ice is expanding in Antarctica not contracting. This story seems to contradict that.

Everything is always such a shame, now that we are all in what was supposed to be "the future"😮😢😂

[eddave]

Anyone else how they throw out “due to climate change” is if that’s absolutely fact? Lmao

[Dungshoveleux]

Are these the ones that fly to South America for their holidays? 🙂

[jjsc]

Great, now LEAVE THEM ALONE. NEVER visit them, let them be.
