Add 'seeing emperor penguins' to your bucket list for travel


By Leesan

Like a scene from Happy Feet ...

The emperor penguin species of Antarctica, as the name suggests, is the “emperor” of all penguins. They live in cold, frozen lands on the southernmost end of our planet, making them one of the most rare animals that humans can actually spot in the wild.

As a matter of fact, it is going to be harder to see emperor penguins in their natural habitat as global warming continues to be a major concern, with many reports stating that icebergs are melting at unprecedented rates. Today, we only have slightly more than 10,000 of these adorable creatures in the icy continent, and they are being forced to migrate even further down south for survival.
