Emperor Penguins May Go Extinct By 2100 Due To Climate Change

United States Fish and Wildlife Services has listed the Emperer penguins of Antarctica as "endangered species". According to a study, 98% of Emperor penguins may become extinct by 2100 due to the sudden and fast climate change activities on earth. Scientists have estimated that at this rate, at least two-third of penguin-occupied colonies (70%) would go extinct by 2050.
