       Sad news: A catastrophic die-off of #EmperorPenguin chicks has been observed in the Antarctic with up to 10,000 young birds estimated to have been killed.The sea-ice underneath the chicks melted & broke apart before they developed the waterproof feathers needed to swim in the ocean.The chicks most likely drowned or froze to death.😔#FaceTheClimateEmergency#ClimateCrisis#Wildlifehttps://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66492767
