Scientists have been able to determine that the natural habitat for penguins has changes over the past 100 years. A great deal of this is due to global warming which continues to threaten their environment. For example when the ice that they walk on melts over the years they have less of an area to walk around on. This can also affect their ability to travel the distance to breeding grounds.
When the sun it hotter than it was in the past, their natural habitat is also affected. Their bodies find it harder to survive when they are too hot. Many of the young as well as the very old penguins die due to the heat. This hotter temperature can also significantly reduce the amount of food that is available on the waters for them to survive on as well. penguins-world.com
Scheint die Sonne dem Pinguin auf den schwarzen 'Frack', spreizen sie oft die Flügel, um die Körperoberfläche zum Auskühlen zu vergrößern. Durch Schlagen mit den Flügeln versuchen sie weitere Abkühlung zu erreichen. Durch leichtes Sträuben des Daunengefieders wird die Wärmeisolierung reduziert. Auch über die Füße wird Wärme abgegeben. Reicht das nicht aus, hecheln Pinguine ähnlich wie Hunde. anjaspinguine.de
