RE: 1.5 million new Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) was just found on the remote Danger Islands!
This gives me a good feeling that there are still places around the world with good vegetation and not disturbed by humans or other global problems (directly). But as you mentioned, I'm not sure if this can be a good thing for a global balance. If just one species alone grow in numbers, that's not a good sign either.
The colonies may not be in danger of extinction but I feel the species on which they feed upon should be taken into consideration and their numbers should be keenly watched. Well, not now but in the long run Adélie penguins may run out of krill, jellyfish, and squid to feed upon. 😛
Sadly I don't think they will be unaffected by the pollution and climate change for very long, because this tends to reach all places, it just takes a lot longer to get to the Antarctic.
That's a very good point! Some research claims that they used to eat a lot more fish 20-30 years ago, but changes their diet to krill, squid and jellyfish once humans begun to fish a lot in the area, and the populations of their prey fish declined.
So humans are someway being responsible for all the disasters happening around the world. That's really sad. 😏
Yeah, absolutely. It's very sad, but it is just the reality :/
