“In recent decades, populations of chinstrap penguins have been declining elsewhere because they specialize in eating krill and climate change is driving the small crustaceans to cooler water. But scientists believed the Zavodovski birds were holding steady because of the island’s colder sea.”
World’s once-largest penguin colony is in perilous decline
Climate change appears to have made food scarce for chinstrap penguins, which had numbered more than 1 million on a remote South Atlantic island
