More than 60,000 penguins starve to death near Africa
- More than 60,000 penguins have starved to death off the coast of South Africa due to collapsing sardine numbers, according to a new study.
- From 2004 to 2011, over 95 percent of African penguins on Dassen Island and Robben Island died during their moulting period, as stated by researchers.
- African penguins have seen a near 80 percent population decline in the last three decades, as mentioned by Dr. Richard Sherley from the University of Exeter.
- Researchers are using concrete penguin decoys and recorded calls to lure African penguins into safer breeding grounds, which may help them avoid extinction.
