Population
Emperor Penguins have just been classified as a ‘near threatened’ species because of alarm at the rate of loss of their habitat, Antarctica. Emperors can only be found in Antarctica which is melting. According to NASA, at a rate of 150 billion tons of ice a year with some glaciers retreating at a rate of 160 feet a day. Studies continue to assess the present and future impact of Climate Change on Antarctica. Nonetheless, Emperor Penguins remain at risk with their black and white feathers and golden patch. They are birds and can dive over 1,500 feet deep as their bones are solid, not hollow like birds, and by slowing their heart rate to 15 to 20 beats a minute. A group of penguins is called a raft, which is what these amazing birds will need if Antarctica continues to melt.
