Why is the Magellanic Penguin endangered?
Magellanic Penguins are not endangered, but "near threatened". The reason for this is oil pollution, commercial fishing, and climate change. According to the Wildlife Conservation Society more than 40,000 penguins in Argentina died a year in the 1980's due to oil pollution. Over fishing depletes the ocean of the penguins food supply. When penguins have to swim further in search for food, this is less time they are able to spend nesting and raising their offspring. Offspring often die due to short food supplies. The higher climate change affects the food chain, and also threatens the Magellanic Penguin. When waters become too warm, it depletes the supply of plankton, who feed the fish, who feed the penguins.
