As global warming changes the survival-of-the-fittest game at the bottom of the world, one particular species of Antarctic penguin is modeling a poignant lesson for humanity: Adapt or die ... and make it quick.

of frozen saltwater floating around Antarctica — a record high — and many species like humpback whales were feasting on krill and thriving., breaking the previous record set just last year.

While Adélie and chinstrap penguins remain stuck in their ancient ways come hell or warm water, the much more flexible gentoo penguins are ranging further and further south. And as they show willingness to chase new prey or abandon a nest to increase the odds of long-term survival, their numbers are exploding.

"I think there's a lesson in here for us as well," Lynch said. "If we just stick to what we've always done, it's not going to turn out well for us. Just because Manhattan has always been where it is, does it make sense that it will be there in 200 or 300 years? I don't know. But I think we would benefit from being plastic and flexible and adaptive. And I think that's kind of what the gentoos are telling us.

Fake news

The articles ksl decides to pass along from larger outlets completely reveals the mentality of their editorial board. sellksl

Global warming is a hoax.. pollution is real. We need to do more about pollution and dismiss this climate change crap

From CNN? Come on KSL! Stop cherry picking.

We’re back to global warming again? 🤡s

🤣🤣🤣

Ratio'd.

Climate change is a crock of crap.

So fake

I don’t see any warming up here . We have record snow and I’m gloss for it

Penguins don't eat sea ice. They eat fish. As long as they have fish to eat, they will thrive.

How many decades have progressives been claiming we have less than 10 years to fix climate change? Like 8? 😂

Southern Utah Kolob canyon... Lol

Global warming... Lol

Sure, global warming.

KSL could either adapt or keep pretending there is a climate crisis

Meanwhile in Oakley we have record snow fall and record water for a winter.

Once again, KSL chasing the Ambulance looking for a quick hit. Seriously, Chicken Little wasn't this stupid.

Global warming doesnt exist KSL. Stop with the stupid lies.
