i try to emphasize good news

and if i can't do that i try to emphasize anger over sadness

but there's nothing i can do about this bit of news except be depressed:

"Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor #penguins at risk of #extinction"

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/09/mass-drowning-of-chicks-puts-emperor-penguins-at-risk-of-extinction

essentially, #globalWarming, the #climateCrisis, is breaking up the ice the #emperorPenguin depends upon to raise its young, and this is resulting in mass killings of their young now

😔

Sea Turtle, Penguin, and other Marine Mammals (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 2

Back with the second group of figures from the Panini marine animals set. Last time, I focused on the cetaceans, which were okay. This time, we’ll see the rest of the marine tetrapods (the best I can do to lump them all together). They are okay too! Also, a whole group of vertebrates that can leave the water I guess. This will include several marine carnivorans, plus a sea turtle and a […]

Emperor Penguin, 8 inch (Wild Repubic – Mini Cuddlekins by K&M International)

Review and images by ALeahgator; edited by bmathison1972

The emperor penguin, or Aptenodytes forsteri, is an iconic winter-themed animal and also a popular symbol of Antarctica. It would be hard to think of an animal more iconic of Earth’s polar regions, except for the woolly mammoth which is now extinct. Penguins are popular exhibits at zoos and aquariums, and are often also popular […]

Emperor Penguin (Douglas Cuddle Toys)

Edited by bmathison1972

The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the largest species of penguin in the world and also nearly everyone’s favorite. This small emperor penguin plush by Douglas Cuddle Toys has become my new favorite animal. Penguins are popular. Late 90s and early 2000s kids may remember Pingu the Penguin […]

Satellite spots four new emperor #PenguinColonies in Antarctica https://www.rcinet.ca/eye-on-the-arctic/2024/01/30/satellite-spots-four-new-emperor-penguin-colonies-in-antarctica/

"#SatelliteImagery has identified four new #EmperorPenguin colonies in #Antarctica, bringing the total number known to 66... Emperor #penguin breeding sites are typically in harsh and hard-to-get-to areas so #scientists rely on satellite imagery to monitor colonies"

Last year was catastrophic for #EmperorPenguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) breeding in #Antarctica because of the record-low extent of winter sea ice. Satellite images revealed that #penguins abandoned all but one of their breeding colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea. “This one event is not going to doom the species,” says seabird ecologist Annie Schmidt. But for these colonies — about 10,000 breeding pairs in total — “I think we’re past the tipping point."

Gizmodo: Record-Low Ice Levels in Antarctica Killed Thousands of Penguin Chicks, Study Says https://gizmodo.com/low-ice-levels-antarctica-killed-thousands-of-penguins-1850776250?utm_source=regular #theusfishandwildlifeservice #flightlessbirds #emperorpenguin #peterfretwell #adeliepenguin #humaninterest #environment #kingpenguin #antarctica #penguin #bird #tern

Record low 2022 #Antarctic #seaice led to catastrophic breeding failure of emperor #penguins
#EmperorPenguin colonies experienced unprecedented breeding failure in a region of Antarctica where there was total sea #ice loss in 2022. The discovery supports predictions that over 90% of emperor penguin colonies will be quasi-#extinct by the end of the century, based on current #globalwarming trends.

I think #climatechange is a #climatecrisis at this point

Sad news: A catastrophic die-off of #EmperorPenguin chicks has been observed in the Antarctic with up to 10,000 young birds estimated to have been killed.The sea-ice underneath the chicks melted & broke apart before they developed the waterproof feathers needed to swim in the ocean.
The chicks most likely drowned or froze to death.😔

Opening up #patterntesting for my #emperorpenguin design!

Hello and welcome to my first attempt to get a pattern tested! Since I’m not sure how many testers will be interested, I don’t have a limit or a deadline as of now.

I can’t pay anyone, so what you’ll get for testing is the completed pattern in PDF form for free - and if I ever have to update the pattern, I’ll send you those updated versions as well. I’ll also thank you personally in the pattern listing, either with your username on mastodon or any other name you’d rather I use.

I haven’t posted the pattern anywhere yet. If you agree to be a tester, I will privately send you a link to a google doc. If you have an account on ravelry.com, I'll also send the tester code for my draft so you can link a project to it.

How I’d like this to go:

1. Testers email me at [email protected] to let me know they want to test (having it all there will make it easier for me to handle).
2. I send you the link (and the tester code if applicable).
3. You share any questions or criticisms you have about the pattern so I can change it if needed.
4. Once all is completed, I send you the finished PDF.
5. Testers upload your project + pictures with the tester code (if applicable).
6. I upload the pattern with thanks to anyone who tested in the description.
7. If you don't post on Ravelry, you can post pics here on Mastodon and link to the pattern after I've uploaded it.

I hope I’m doing this right! I’ll answer any questions here or through email. (But my carpal tunnel is flaring up so it may be a few hours from now.)

Antarctica’s Emperor Penguin may be extinct by 2100 with other polar species not long after . But biodiversity conservation funding of as little as $23 million a year could be a important game changer. Of course rapidly reducing #climatechange would have most impact. #Antarctica #EmperorPenguin #Extinction https://theconversation.com/antarcticas-emperor-penguins-could-be-extinct-by-2100-and-other-species-may-follow-if-we-dont-act-196563

I made it 49 days without duplicating any birds. Today was day 50. I drew another emperor penguin on November 20th. Exactly one month ago. Oh well. It was a nice streak while it lasted. I'm open to bird suggestions if anyone has one I haven't covered yet. Trying to make it through to the end of the year at least.

The #EmperorPenguin is the world's largest #penguin, about the size of a 7-year-old!

The #Orca is the world's largest #dolphin

Penguin chicks' feathers are not waterproof - they can't swim until they're older

A group of penguins on land is called a "waddle", & in the water they're called a "raft"
