If you ever find yourself hanging out on Antarctica's Danger Islands, we hope you like penguins. There's a lot of them there.
A previously unknown "mega-colony" of Adelie penguins have been found on the islands, which sit on Antarctica's northern tip.
More than 1.5 million of the birds were found in 2015 during a survey of the area, according to a report in the journal Scientific Reports.

The answer is obvious to any of the Global Warming faithful in the northern Hemisphere.
Global warming drove them north in a search for cooler weather.

How is this missed? Do any animals eat penguins? We should send them a letter and a mao.

Sharks and Orcas eat penguins. Maybe leopard seals too.

Rumor is that they are super advanced, both technologically and culturally, due to avoiding white colonizers and possessing some super metal from space. Beware!

The fishing must be good to support a population of that size.

Yes, if Global warming continues at its current rate, they’ll probably have to swim all the way to the equator to cool off.
