You gotta see this

This is a satellite image of Antarctica (which explains all the ice and snow), and those little brown smudges are ... wait for it ... penguin colonies! New imaging has revealed that there are nearly 20% more emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica than previously thought. That's good news, for the most part, because penguins are always good news. However, scientists have pointed out that, with the looming specter of climate change, the fate of the colonies will tell us a lot about how Antarctica is being affected.

Who knew?

Seabird poop could be worth millions of dollars. At least, that’s what scientists studying it say. Researchers claim that guano — waste produced by seagulls, pelicans, and penguins — can be used as commercial fertilizer and is vital for contributing nutrients to marine ecosystems because of the various fragrant and ecologically important gases it produces. The value of such organic treasure could be $473 million each year, and possibly much more. Well, one bird’s waste is the planet’s treasure?
