A penguin colony in Antarctica has suffered a massive breeding failure, with only two chicks surviving the disaster. Terre Adélie (Adélie Land) is home to more than 18,000 pairs of Adélie ...

LOS ANGELES -- Massive icebergs and an unprecedented amount of sea ice have nearly isolated one of Antarctica's largest populations of Adelie penguins, jeopardizing attempts by the birds to breed ...

Researchers found the huge colony of birds on the Danger Islands. — -- A “supercolony” of Adélie penguins has been found on a remote chain of rocky islands in the northern tip of the ...

Previous studies showed Adélie penguins did poorly in years with greater sea-ice growth and better in warmer breeding seasons. The JNIPR team tagged 175 penguins with GPS devices and other equipment ...

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 ...

A higher number of penguins suggests that more flightless birds are interacting with humans than previously thought, meaning researchers might need to be more vigilant about protecting breeding ...

Yet, Adelie penguins have found ways to survive and breed and raise their vulnerable young. Despite what you may think, male penguins are the ones that take a lead role in preparing the nesting site.

If a breeding site is covered in snow when the penguins get there, Cimino says they have two choices: lay their eggs in snow or wait until the snow melts. Gentoo penguins stay on the same island all ...

"The short answer is no, penguins are not really monogamous," said Emma Marks, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, who studies breeding behavior and mate choice in ...
