For the past couple of weeks, we have been able to Skype with the amazing Jean of penguinscience. Last Friday we partnered with the first graders and helped them ask their interview questions. We learned about some of the body features, why penguins waddle, and that despite what the first graders had seen in a movie, penguins do NOT surf. We will continue to follow the journey of our nest as we trace the flow of energy through their ecosystem.
What were some of the predators that were mentioned? What might happen to the Adelie penguins if there was a decrease in predators? As the penguins chicks grow and their demand for food increases, does the risk of predation for the adults increase or decrease? Oh, and how do the wolverines connect to the Adelie?
