Penguins aren't really at stake if the ice melts. They probably wouldn't be able to breed, however, since they stay on the ice when the babies are being incubated and bred. Technically, polar bears are most affected since they are top predators, meaning nothing really eats them. Polar bears hunt from the ice, and they live their whole lives on the ice. It is like their home. If you lived in a cottage with lots of food in the refrigerator and had a nice life.....and suddenly the cottage was taken with everything inside it, you'd be a goner, right? Same thing with the poor animals. Hope this helps...?

A2. Not all penguins live in an icy environment. we have perhaps half a dozen species in New Zealand. And the same for MacQuarie Island, Campbell island, and the South America.

Why are baby penguins going hungry?

it is basically because of greenhouse gases. the earth is getting hotter so it melts the ice in antarctica. The krill that the penguins feed on live in the ice, in bubble which have algae which the krill feed on. but because there is less ice, the krill die meaning the penguins go hungry.

A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?

When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.


How does melting sea ice affect penguins?

Some penguins, like Emperor Penguins, breed and raise their young entirely on sea ice. When sea ice melts earlier at the end of winter this disrupts the breeding season. Another problem is that the penguins' food source, krill and other tiny crustaceans, survives on phytoplankton and zooplankton that grow on the ice. As the ice disappears, so does the plankton, disrupting the food chain.


Could penguins be extinct in antarctica ice melts?

Probably not, since penguins don't 'live' on the Antarctic continent -- they are aquatic animals -- and only come to Antarctica's beaches to breed.
