A colony of about 40,000 Adélie penguins in Antarctica suffered a “catastrophic breeding event” after French scientists discovered only two chicks survived at the start of the year — the ...

Adelie penguins stand on sea ice next to Comb Island, Danger Islands, Antarctica, where they discovered a previously unknown colony.

A colony of about 40,000 Adélie penguins in Antarctica suffered a “catastrophic breeding event” after French scientists discovered only two chicks survived at the start of the year -- the ...

It’s a big question: how is climate change in Antarctica affecting Adélie penguins? Climate has influenced the distribution patterns of Adélie penguins across Antarctica for millions of years. The ...

Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) belong to the penguin family Spheniscidae. They also go by the name brush-tailed penguins due to the long, still feathers on their tails that often sweep the ...

Antarctica has way more penguins than scientists thought, which is great, because penguins Antarctica may be home to 3.6 million more Adélie penguins than previously estimated.

Scientists predict that in decades to come, Adélie penguins could disappear from the western Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands. Researchers at University of Delaware and Temple are tracking the ...

True rates of "divorce" — in which penguins actively snub former mates in favor of new conquests — are hard to calculate, because not every penguin returns to the breeding grounds each season.

Video shows a wayward penguin swimming and diving among beachgoers along Brazil’s most iconic shoreline. It might be ...

While little penguins typically have the same breeding partner for many years, they also seek chemistry with other partners. This leads to relatively high divorce rates that are not universal ...

Adélie penguins need an optimal level of sea ice to breed—too much, and access to food is threatened. Image: Louise Emmerson/Australian Antarctic Program As the fervor of Fat Bear Week rages on ...

A colony of over 18,000 pairs of Adélie penguins in Terre Adélie, Antarctica, suffered a catastrophic breeding failure at the start of 2017 with only two chicks surviving. WWF is demanding greater ...
