OOOOOOOOOO Crap, The Penguins in South America are dying mysteriously this year.  this is a very bad sign.  it reminds us of the problem Bees are facing with this wave of Hive Collapse.  we’ll keep watching this over the weekend and report back when we see more info.

Watch This and Ask Yourself Why This isn’t being  covered on TV?

Also let us not forget about the millions of Sea Shells washing up on the beach in Karachi.  this is unbelievable. this has never happened before.  alot of people seem to believe the magnetic field is shifting; which has caused this.  remember the Dolphins which beached themselves last year, The Whales which have beached themselves ?

Why it keeps happening we still don’t know. Yet we all know that this is a real problem and we need to find out why.  Also the amount of earthquakes this year is way up. What is happening with the Earths Magnetic Poles ? is something causing them to shift and ..

WHY ?

until then, please don’t contribute to the carbon poisoning of this planet  if you can. we need to think before we create an unlivable environment for everything,  including US Humans.

(CNN) — Biologists suspect that unusually cold waters off the coast of Brazil were responsible for the deaths of more than 550 penguins that washed up on shore in the past 10 days.

Since July 11, about 556 dead penguins have appeared on beaches, Thiago do Nascimento, a biologist at the Peruibe Aquarium, told CNN.

At the beach of Praia Grande alone, on the Sao Paulo coast, more than 170 penguins have washed up on shore since Friday, according to the local government.

It is not unusual for penguins to show up on the Brazilian coast during their migration, but most of the time, they are alive, said another biologist, Isabelle Nunes.

Necropsies performed on many of the penguins show that they had no food in their stomachs and probably starved to death, Nascimento said, adding that cold weather probably contributed to their deaths.

Nunes said it is possible that the cold waters, brought on by a regional cold front, made the fish that the penguins eat seek other waters.

More tests are being conducted, Nunes said.

Farther north, on the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro, penguin appearances and rescues have become common in recent years.

It’s normal for Magellan penguins to leave their colonies in the Antarctic in an annual migration in search of fish, following the plankton-rich, frigid water currents traveling north along the coast of South America. What has changed is that they are increasingly unable to return home because they get sick, weak or disoriented for reasons that have yet to be determined.

Climate change, overfishing and pollution of the water all could contribute to the penguins becoming lost.

The Niteroi Zoo, near Rio de Janeiro, first began receiving penguins for rescue in 1999. Since then, they have received an increasing number of the birds, peaking with 1,000 penguins in 2008.
