14 DAY TRIAL // Given the fact that emperor penguin's entire life revolves around the sea ice near the continent of Antarctica, it is no wonder that global warming brings unfortunate news for these animals.
As researchers explain, the emperor penguin is dependent on sea ice for two major reasons: first of all, in order to get its regular meals; secondly, in order to breed and raise its youngsters.
If you've seen the 2005 documentary film “March of the Penguins,” you probably remember the hardships these sea-birds have to face. If you haven't, we recommend that you do.
Anyway, it seems that if global temperatures continue to go up, by 2100 only 575 breeding pairs of emperor penguins will be left at the Arctics, as opposed to the 3,000 that now call this part of the world home.
Hopefully, something can be done in time.
