What cause the yellow eyed penguins to be endangered?

Answer 1

the yellow-eyed penguin is listed as an endangered animal with an estimated wild population of less than 4,000 individuals. It is now the rarest penguin in the world due to deforestation and the introduction of predators.

Answer 2

Penguins are endangered for a number of reasons such as

1. Global Warming- This melts their habitat making it hard for them to find land or somewhere in which they can breed.
2. Pollution- Ships and other industries dump litter into the sea, polluting the waters in which they live in. A penguin may choke on a plastic bag, or die from eating a a beer can ring because it is wedged in its throat.
3. Over Fishing- With Ships over fishing as there is an ever growing demand for food with the evergrowing population of the world, penguins are hahving to go further away from their fishing grounds and for longer, posing many threats to a penguin such as it being eaten or the chick starving to death.
4. Oil- Oil gets stuck to a pengunis feathers and then when it tries to get it off it ends up suffocating on it or even worse, being poisened.

Answer 3

The reason for this wonderful animal to be endangered is partly because of us. Global warming is effecting their food in the water and pollution caused by us also has a big effect.

Answer 4

There are several reasons for five of the seventeen species do be endangered. Some were never common to begin with, and human activities reduced their numbers. Others were hunted for food, and a few were victims of non native introduced species. Climate change has been put forth as another reason, but this theory has yet to be proven as a decline in penguin numbers.
