Climate change is 'killing Argentina's Magellanic penguin chicks'

Penguin chicks in Argentina are dying as a direct consequence of climate change, according to new research.

penguins
Magellanic penguin chicks huddle together for warmth in Punta Tombo, Argentina

Drenching rainstorms and extreme heat are killing the young birds in significant numbers.
The study, conducted over 27 years, looked at climate impacts on the world's biggest colony of Magellanic penguins, which live on the arid Punta Tombo peninsula.
The research has been published in the journal Plos One.
About 200,000 pairs of these penguins make their nests on the peninsula every year.
They reside there, in desert-like conditions, from September until February to hatch their young.
However, the life of a newborn chick is perilous, to say the least.
Downy death
They are too big for their parents to sit on top of and keep warm, but too young to have waterproof feathers.
As a result, they are particularly vulnerable to rainstorms. If they get drenched they usually die, despite the attentions of their despairing parents.
They can also succumb to extreme heat, as they cannot cool off in the water like the others.
penguinsThe chicks are often too big for their parents to be able to keep them warm

Magellanic penguins

Penguins
  • Found predominantly in Argentina, Chile and the Falkland Islands
  • Medium-sized birds that stand about 35cm tall and weigh around 5kg
  • Males of species have a distinct vocalisation - they bray like donkeys
  • More than 17 penguin species are recognised, all south of the equator

    I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or
    vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics
    as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.

    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.

    I believe everything said was actually very logical.
    But, consider this, suppose you were to create a killer headline?
    I ain't saying your information isn't solid., however suppose you added something
    that grabbed folk's attention? I mean "Climate change is 'killing Argentina's Magellanic penguin chicks'" is kinda
    plain. You could peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers interested.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two
    to get readers interested about everything've
    got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.
