There will be a lot of penguins. The only continent on earth with no native human population. But antarcticas coasts are teeming with life. So how can scientists study and protect that Wildlife Year Round through the harshest winter on the planet . Im Victoria Gill and im following a team of scientists who are setting up remote cameras in Penguin Colonies here. Here in the antarctic peninsula, penguins are largely declining. Why . Thats ok, bud. I want to understand what the threats are to penguins in this region and how to get rid of those threats. Climate change is already having an impact on Penguin Populations here. So what can antarcticas most famous residents reveal about the future of our planets greatest wilderness . We are on the shortest possible crossing to antarctica from the s

they re you said you keep them at 60 degrees. we do. keep it around 60 degrees fahrenheit. in they re in this area they can reach temperatures up to about 80 degrees fahrenheit. they love the cold water still. this is still cold water. it is cold water. that helps cool them down if they get too warm. they are not endangered? no, their numbers are considered common. we do consider them to be protected. over-fishing is one of the reasons that penguin populations have decreased. also oil spills for the african penguin. sure. and then, believe it or not, because they do live in area where s normal human population is, dogs and cats can prey on them. what s characteristic about them? what do we not know about penguins? they can have about 70 feathers per square inch. for this species they can have feathers that will disappear around their bill and around their eyes to help keep their temperatures down a little bit cooler, it will help keep them
