Penguins!

Zooniverse debuted another citizen science project, this one marking penguins caught on camera in Antarctica, Penguin Watch. It's even simpler than Snapshot Serengeti: you just click on adults, chicks, and eggs.

Most of the shots I've seen have either nothing in them, or small flocks. But then there's this one...



The dark slash across the screen is because they only want you to look at the lighter portion of the frame. And if there's more than 30 penguins in the shot, you click on to the next section and tell them there's too many to count.

But still...ACRES and ACRES of PENGUINS! XD

OCEANS of penguins! I found another shot of the same location with EVEN MORE penguins in it!

Yes! Yes, he did! (I thought I said THANK YOU, apparently I didn't. *sadface*)
