A huge 9,000-strong colony of emperor penguins has been discovered in Antarctica after scientists spotted their poo trails in satellite images. The massive emperor penguin colony had never ever encountered humans until researchers found them on Antarctica’s Princess Ragnhild Coast. Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey noticed the trail in 2009 while studying satellite images of Antarctica and it was not until December last year that three researchers from the International Polar Foundation found the colony. Alain Hubert, founder of the International Polar Foundation, said the penguins were curious rather than scared of them, National Public Radio (NPR) reported. “When you arrive, they just come to see you, to watch you, to turn around you. The penguins — and especially the emperors — they are so human. They’re so cute,” Hubert said. Since the penguins had never encountered humans, Hubert says they weren’t scared, just curious.
