Penguins pretty happy about melting sea ice

June 26, 2020

Excerpt:

Adelie Penguins would probably benefit from a bit of global warming. When 175 were tagged and tracked it turned out that they ate more krill when there was less sea ice. This is not so surprising given that they swim better than they waddle, so long stretches of sea ice make it harder to get to the supermarket and back.

And Krill (dinner) apparently like less sea ice too. Phytoplankton bloomed when the sea ice was gone.

Anthropomorphism.

On the other hand they use the ice to escape the orcas.
And I'm sure the orcas are happy about the weight gain.
Makes em slower and more juicy.

Penguins probably like to use ice to get away from the killer whales


What's for dinner?
