    They only found 1.5 million penguins......

    It's hard to imagine that in this day and age a super colony of 1.5 million penguins went undetected in the Ant-Artica. But it did. Here some a small piece of drone footage.



    Huge 'mega-colonies' of penguins have been discovered near the Antarctic peninsula, hosting more than 1.5m birds. Researchers say it shows the area is a vital refuge from climate change and human activities and should be protected by a vast new marine wildlife reserve currently under consideration. The Adélie penguins were discovered on the Danger Islands in the Weddell Sea, on the east side of the Antarctic peninsula.

    Saw pictures on the news. Hopefully, they will be protected and left alone to continue to prosper.
