However, the absence of ice leads to dire consequences for the young birds, as they haven&#8217;t yet developed their waterproof feathers by the time they would typically fledge in late December or January. Without the ice, chicks are at risk of drowning or freezing to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The researchers note that the loss of ice around Antarctica has reached near-record levels in recent years, and the effects of climate change are likely to exacerbate such occurrences. An analysis of known nesting sites in Antarctica indicates that around 30% of penguin colonies were affected by low sea ice levels last year, with 13 colonies likely failing entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some penguin colonies might recover from a year or two of poor breeding by finding new nesting sites, concerns arise about the long-term impact of decreasing suitable habitats due to ice loss. The study underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these iconic Antarctic species and their habitats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent study reveals that the loss of ice in a specific region of Antarctica has had a devastating impact [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":543003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"two_page_speed":[],"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[109771],"tags":[111254,111253,107138,111252],"class_list":["post-543006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias","tag-catastrophe","tag-climatechange","tag-extinction","tag-penguins"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdR79Q-2hga","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":541014,"url":"https:\/\/cerebrodigital.net\/en\/new-extinct-little-penguin-species-discovered-eacr\/","url_meta":{"origin":543006,"position":0},"title":"New Extinct Little Penguin Species Discovered","author":"Andrey Robles","date":"July 25, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Researchers in New Zealand have discovered the fossilized remains of a new species of the extinct little penguin.
