Scientists just found about 1.5 million penguins


This is good news for penguins, because there have been, and still are, concerns about declining numbers due to combined effects of climate change and food sources.  Adelie penguins, which live on the Antarctic continent, have been one of the main areas of concern.

Well, there's a few more of them than we thought.  1.5 million more or so, in fact.

Previously unknown 'super colony' of 1.5 MILLION penguins in Antarctica's remote Danger Islands is discovered from space

Here's some of them.  Now admit it, you didn't know there was a place called the 'Danger Islands' any more than I did up until now, did you?
