Mirror, mirror, in the snow, who’s the prettiest penguin of them all?

It's #NationalPenguinAwarenessDay in the US, so we're sharing a recent story about wild Adélie penguins that might be self-aware. 🐧🪞❄️

It’s been many years since I’ve been to #Antarctica, but projects B031 & B200 continue to collect long term data on the ecology of #AdéliePenguins, #populationdynamics, #foragingbehavior, and #climatechange. Project people are now in the field and ready for a new season, with new GPS/Sat/dive tags ready to go. Here is a 2021 paper from our team: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-02451-4?

To help make connections: name things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable.
