Scientists say the loss of ice around Antarctica is hurting the survival of emperor penguin chicks.

A new study concludes that Antarctica is already being and will continue to be affected by more frequent and severe extreme weather events, a known byproduct of human-caused climate change.

BERLIN British scientists say they've confirmed there are more emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica than previously thought based on evidence of bird droppings spotted from space. A study published Wednesday by scientists at the British Antarctic Survey counted 61 emperor penguin colonies dotted around the southernmost continent, 11 more than the number previously confirmed. The majestic emperor penguin breeds in remote areas where temperatures can drop as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius (minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit). Peter Fretwell, a British Antarctic Survey geographer and the study's lead author, called the latest count good news but noted that the newly spotted colonies were small. Some of the newly discovered colonies are located far offshore, on sea ice that has formed around grounded icebergs and which is particularly at risk of disappearing.

It all started at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, where employees let the penguins at the exhibit have free rein. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season.
