I ❤️ Penguins 🐧 Where are they?
The cutest little animal in the world has to be the penguin. Don't you wish you could visit them? In this post I share all about the penguins and where you can find them.
The first time I saw a penguin wasn’t in Antarctica. Is that a surprise? I thought they were only found in Antarctica. The opposite may be actually true. Despite there being millions of penguins in Antarctica they are not endemic to Antarctica, but instead found in the countries that border the icy continent all the way up to Galapagos at the equator. I wasn’t expecting to see Penguins in South…

There are invasive species just about everywhere these days, but Australia's native fauna have been especially hit hard. While the continent has some native mammalian predators, it lacks the sheer number and diversity of predatory species found in many other areas. The vacuum left when native predators were eradicated in large areas of their ranges by European colonists left the door open even wider to invasive predators like foxes, rats, weasels, and feral dogs and cats.
These non-native mammals have contributed to the extinction of several of the 100 Australian species that have gone extinct in the past 230 years. Many more are threatened with extinction due to ongoing predation by invasive animals, among other environmental pressures.
Predator-proof fences like those used to protect the Eden colony of kororā/little penguins (Eudyptula minor) are one of the tools conservationists have used to create safe spaces for endangered species. By keeping invasive predators out, the fence in Eden now gives the reintroduced penguins a fighting chance. Unfortunately, fences also keep individual populations of animals separated, which can decrease genetic diversity. The fences are a short-term solution, but continuing eradication of invasive species will likely be necessary in order to allow native Australian wildlife to thrive outside of these artificially delineated havens.

The south-eastern shores of Granite Island, South Australia, taken whilst clambering across the boulders in search of little penguin burrows for an annual census. My team didn't end up finding any active burrows (in general they're a lot less common on this side of the island nowadays) although we did find one with hatched eggs and a ton of down.

Also apologies for not posting much here but currently I am being slaughtered by uni work

Photographer Mandy Wilson has captured an extraordinary image showing a newborn dolphin riding on mom’s back around Penguin Island, near Perth, off Western Australia's coast — and seemingly smiling in delight. 🐬

Imma be annoying and do an little post about the server. I love the server. My people. All my friends. People from all over the world! It’s so fun.
It’s great way to learn more if you’re new to hockey or hockey tumblr. We’ve got some great writers throughout the group. Plenty of readers and people who love to help.
We also have watch parties when we can. Watch streams and discuss the games. Especially since it’s playoffs! At the moment we even have a Playoff bracket challenge within the group.
If you can’t find the invite link on my blog, you are more than welcome to message me for the link.

So it’s official I’m pissed Australia not only has the cuter care bears but now they’re getting the Carebear cousins and we’re just getting new bears. They pulled out of thin air. That’s designs aren’t worth crap.
All we want is our cousins back why do you keep doing this to us? I don’t want a denim grumpy bear I don’t want your new Carebear. I just want to start making bears of the care Bears we already have you haven’t done yet and the Carebear cousins that’s what I want 
give me back my lotsa heart elephant
