Scientists discover a bizarre paradox among endangered penguins
ScienceDaily reports that a drone survey of New Zealand's endangered Erect-crested penguins found one population has remained stable for decades while another has declined by more than 40%. The outlet attributes the decline to an apparent combination of predators, worsening storms and changing ocean conditions. It also reports that the Bounty Islands support nearly as many breeding pairs as the Antipodes Islands, despite being 40 times smaller.

Scientists discover a bizarre paradox among endangered penguins
A groundbreaking drone survey has revealed a startling split in the fate of New Zealand's endangered Erect-crested penguins. While one population has remained stable for decades, another has declined by more than 40%, apparently due to a combination of predators, worsening storms, and changing ocean conditions. Even more surprisingly, the tiny Bounty Islands support nearly as many breeding pairs as the Antipodes Islands, despite being 40 times smaller.
