The Emperor's penguin island disappeared

The investigation of the Antarctic survey found no Emperor penguin left on the island of the same name.

Melting ice has made the emperors of the Emperor no longer have a residence.

In recent years, the area of ​​the Emperor's Island warmed up with unprecedented speed. This is the main reason for the disappearance of the bird, said scientist Philip Trathan, the chief of the survey team from the UK.

The Emperor penguin was first discovered in 1948 on a small island named the Emperor on the west side of the Antarctic peninsula.

When it was first discovered, the number of Hoang Penguin penguins was about 150 couples of reproductive age. This number remained relatively stable until 1970. But by 1978, the number of these species began to decline sharply, and in 1999 there were less than 20 pairs of birds left.

A Emperor penguin is about 1.2 m tall, and weighs about 38 kg. In autumn and winter, dense ice sheets are where they gather to mate, lay eggs and raise young.
