A new way to deal with ice buildup on airplanes, drones, and wind turbines comes from researchers investigation into penguin feathers.

Extreme heat in 2019 that reached 111.2 Fahrenheit in the shade killed at least 354 Magellanic penguins at one of the birds' largest breeding colonies.

Researchers in Antarctica accidentally experienced an odd source of "laughing gas." The nitrous oxide came from large amounts of penguin guano.

Magellanic penguins may win the prize for best parents. When feeding their brood, they try to feed each chick an equal portion, regardless of age or size.

"Until now, we have not really known how conditions out in the ocean, where they spend the entire winter, affect them."
