'Mega-colonies' of 15 lakh penguins discovered in Antarctica
"Mega-colonies" of over 15 lakh AdÃ©lie penguins have been discovered on Danger Islands near the Antarctic peninsula. Prompted by satellite images, scientists mounted on an expedition and used on-the-ground counts and drones to reveal 7,51,527 pairs of penguins. Researchers have called for protecting the area, five times larger than Germany, as it was seemingly unaffected by climate change.
