KS2 Science - Declining food supplies for South African penguins

This film is from the series Blue Planet Live available on BBC Teach.

Over the last century, numbers of South African penguins have declined by 90%.

Over-fishing and climate change have caused their prey to moved hundreds of miles from their breeding colonies, too far for adult penguins to hunt and return to the nesting chicks.

To help, local scientists have come up with a plan to create a new colony of penguins using fake models to attract the real penguins to a new feeding ground.
