Researchers have shared captivating footage of an Adélie penguin going about its life in Antarctica.
“Take a dive into the life of Adélie penguins,” says WWF when it shared the footage online. “Antarctica is known as one of the world’s most important ‘natural laboratories’ - which is why so many scientists brave the cold to work there!”
Researchers at the French Polar Institute (IPEV) and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) attached cameras to penguins to learn about their behaviours, how they feed and what type of prey they eat.
“This work is helping us learn more about Adélie penguins and figure out the best ways to safeguard their habitat,” says WWF, which supported the project.
