Adelie penguin, by Prof Bethan Davies

Caption

An Adelie penguin photographed by Prof Bethan Davies. Adelie penguins are highly dependent on sea ice coverage and a healthy population of krill, both of which are placed at risk by the climate crisis; in the western Antarctic Peninsula they have been partially replaced by the gentoo penguin, which is less dependent on ice and has a slightly more adaptable diet.
