Climate Change Threatens Penguins and Seals

IUCN classified emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals as endangered.
Climate change reduces sea ice, limiting krill for penguins.

Antarctic fur seal numbers dropped 50% since 1999 to 944,000.
Southern elephant seals moved from least concern to vulnerable due to disease.
