That means that we have to move because it means they aren't static. They weren't just stay there. Whatever. We think that the majority of them will try to find new eyes better and more stabilized if the ice in which they breathing becomes suitable donors parts of all monitoring and because we want to sing a penguins every year now just to see how they're moving and how they're coping with climate change and enjoying. Sebi looking for the movements of calling sweet. We managed to find these four new breeding sites which have always existed, but we've never spotted them before. the importance of this is is threefold increase the population slightly, but also it shows has colonies which Where the colonies are there are at a discreet number of colonies around until it's cooked as moved by new eyes. They may start going to these new colonies. We need to know where they going to move to because they ready for that usually moved to pre-existing Columbus. So it's very important to know where all the colonies are so we can chat with these colonies of being found in the last calendar year or so older we can go back and see that they have been there for some time. So the collinses were just a kid they always being that it's just that we haven't discovered them yet because I just the newly discovered not new colonies paper. We we do something about what we choose good resolution about 10 minutes, and we don't usually see the Penguins. We just see the brown stains on the ice. I don't really need to tell you what a brown stain is very visible on the Brown on the outside so we can see those things and then we can see you then. If you need your resolutions off light when we identify the white brown stains, then we can send the really high resolution. So flies don't take me to you all the time. You have to ask me that's why I asked him to take an image of what we found those sites. We can just go to satellite to tell you can confirm the penguin Colony all the Penguins individually on those high resolution images so we can confirm it's a penguin stay in one spot too long because the stains will come see me when you get laundry over the course of the Season sometimes many kilometers wide and say well do you may only have a huddle of penguins which is a hundred feet you might have a mile of brown stain behind we do full cast changes. He has connections ocean warming which will impact the sea ice and much of it on the suitable habitat for a penguin's. So this is going to happen more often in the coming years in the coming decades as we monitor it. We're already seeing see how he's changed quite dramatically around and talk to her over the last five or six years which isn't good from the Penguins. We can monitor its you can't we can't put the ice pack we can build something folding. That's not the way that it works. It's really seeing how they adapt to changing. All right, babe, you really because it's not really it's not a penguins need to adapt and change it to 4 to stop the World War One species in this is going to happen to many many other species as well. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Scientists Spot Previously Unknown Colonies of Emperor Penguins in Antarctica","description":"Previously unknown colonies of emperor penguins have been found in new satellite images from Antarctica.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ilJAyP42/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-01-24T21:47:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ilJAyP42.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/ilJAyP42/","duration":"PT4M5S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/ilJAyP42/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
