Have you ever heard about penguin chicks becoming extinct? Well you're about to find out. A group of scientist flew to Antarctica to research penguin chicks and their colonies.
Scientists researched the chicks by putting a small metal band with a number on the chick's left wing.The number on the chick's wing would help scientists and researchers answer some very important questions.They then weighed the chick's wing and measured it also.
The cause of the expedition was to band penguin chicks and their colonies by putting small metal bands around their wings.
The penguins are connected to Antarctica but , the bad news is that the penguin chicks might become endangered or extinct.
My teacher, Ms. Ledger's perspective is that it reminds her of an important thing called conservation. "My favorite President, Teddy Roosevelt worked towards preserving land & these people are working to preserve a species and it's enviroment."
She also says that she is eager to see what happens next."My perspective is that I disagree on the idea of trying to band penguin chicks and that there is another solution out there that doesn't include banding them."
Our responsibility is to try our best to save penguin chicks from becoming extinct.
"From researching about this I learned that scientists should not try banding penguin chicks because they are very important to the enviroment."
