Penguins Sound the Alarm on the Hidden Dangers of Fossil Fuel Usage
According to penguin experts, penguins are showing the hidden hazards of burning coal & mother fossil fuels by the way they march.
The survival-of-the-fittest game is changed at the bottom of the world, & one particular species of Antarctic penguins is modeling a poignant lesson for humanity: adapt or die…. & make it quick.
Penguins are being turned into a sentinel species of the Anthropocene by the Southern Ocean.
Six species of Antarctica's waddling aquabats are far from extinction, but some are abandoning nesting sites where Chics have been hatching for thousands of years to find a better ground, while colonies of those that refuse to move have collapsed.
Craig Cary, a microbial ecologist, collected penguin guano to save Antarctic colonies from bird flu that might reach the Antarctic during the 2022-2023 season.
Preparation for the arrival of bird flu will be helped by the first- ever survey of penguin guano in Antarctica & limit damage on ecosystems already under stress from climate change.
Scientists are watching a real-time lesson in evolution & adaptation among penguins by using satellites, camera traps, citizen science, & AI computing.
It is observed that Adelie & chinstrap penguins remain stuck in their ancient ways, while Gentoo penguins are ranging further south, & their numbers are exploding as they show willingness to chase new prey or abandon a nest to increase the odds of long- term survival.
Big climate change winners in the Antarctic are Gentoo penguins, who are perfectly happy to take advantage of a warming Antarctic.
