The peninsula's tiny islets are well-suited to nesting and have sardines and anchovies close to the shoreline. The flightless birds come on shore in September and October and stay while the males and females take turns caring for their eggs and hunting for food.
The warm-weather birds breed in large colonies in southern Argentina and Chile and migrate north as far as southwestern Brazil between March and September.

Penguin success attributed to government programs providing access to quality nutrition, housing, and child care. Not to mention a borderless society.

With the abundance of fish, and now a million penguins, hopefully the polar bears will have plenty of fat penguins to eat and they’ll bounce back from the brink of extinction.

Nice in theory, but polar bears and penguins have that whole other-hemisphere thing going on. Otherwise, the bears would no doubt be having wings on a grand scale.
