will penguins become extinct in the next 10 years ? (Apr 4, 2017 05:48 PM)RainbowUnicorn Wrote: scientists currently estimate a minimum of 150,000 penguins have died. What species? Not the Macaroni at that rate Stolen from internet: 11,654,000 Population. Larger penguin species are found in colder climates where their large body mass enables them to cope with the conditions, while smaller penguins inhabit warmer climes. The penguin species with the highest population is the Macaroni penguin with 11,654,000 pairs.
Amphibians.
Everything else dies next. No point in worrying about Penguins if the frogs are all gone. Golden Toad extinct, something something news article.
Dylan might have wrote about the penguin plight like this:
Yes, 'n' how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear penguins cry Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many penguins have died The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind (Apr 5, 2017 06:00 PM)Ben the Donkey Wrote: Amphibians.

Zinjanthropos i am pondering what other species rely on such a massive food sourch and habitat regulitory mechanism if memory serves most penguins only raise 1 chick per breeding cycle. thus making the recovery of the species vastly more difficult than what some might calculate. it might only take 2 or 3 bad breeding seasons to wipe out a majority of one species. |
