Still Waters Posted November 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Scientists are calling for a shake-up of the penguin kingdom, saying the gentoo penguin is four species, not one. According to new evidence, the birds are slightly different in shape and size, and can be told apart by their DNA. Counting them as separate species will help in conservation, they argue, making it easier to monitor declines. The change would raise the tally of penguin species from 18 to 21. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54817124 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
