They're in an odd spot: living right on the Equator, but in waters that are kept cooler, as you mention, by the Humboldt Current. Variations in that current lead to changes in the total population. After a cyclic warm-water year, their population can decline steeply, so at times the population is well under 1,000; naturally there's a lot of concern about the future survival of this species.Kenn Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770640232654807723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283005317456814429.post-59933137580485723412009-02-07T11:43:00.000-05:002009-02-07T11:43:00.000-05:00The Penguins that live in the Galapagos Islands, a...The Penguins that live in the Galapagos Islands, are exclusive to this Archipelago where 1,700 to 8,500 individuals breed on 6 main Islands and several other small Islands.<BR/><BR/>Penguins in Galapagos feed only during the day and depend on the cold Humboldt current to bring them fish for feeding.<BR/><BR/>The sun in Galapagos is sometimes strong so Galapagos penguins have to get into the Ocean to cool off.<BR/><BR/>ZuriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
