Extremely rare hybrid rockaroni penguins caught on the camera (exclusive)

• National Geographics Secrets of the Penguins filmed rare “rockaroni” chickens for the doctors
• Baby Penguins are hybrids created by a rockhopper mom and a macaroni Penguin Daddy
• Penguin scientist Pablo “Popi” Borboroglu studied near the “rockaroni” chickens and believes that children’s animals could have “evolutionary benefits” to move forward

Pablo “Popi” Borboroglu knew from an early age that he was supposed to be among the penguins.

“When I was a little boy, my grandmother used to tell wonderful stories about her visit to see penguins along the wild Patagonic coast in Argentina, where I live and work today. Her stories aroused my early connection to nature,” Borborlu, a penguin researcher and preservation with a doctorate. Tells in marine biology.

This first curiosity made Borboroglu check out a penguin colony when he got a little older.

“During my first visit to a Ping wine colonia, I was surrounded by half a million penguins – and at that moment I knew. I felt with complete clarity that my life’s mission was to study and protect these incredible animals,” founder and president of the the the the the the the the one the the the the therahe the the the the the the thexo Global penguin society addition.

Borboroglu is now decades into his Penguin Research career, which is illuminated in the new National Geographic Docuseries Penguin’s secrets. In the show, Borboroglu introduces viewers to a colony of southern Rockhopper Penguins living in Argentina. Among the birds are two innovative penguins that managed to do something that researchers have recorded just a few times before.

Penguin’s secrets Caught on film a penguin pair of mixed species consisting of a female rock jumper and a male macaronipenguin. Stranger still paired the couple successfully and hatched the resulting eggs and welcomed several “rockaroni” hybrid chickens to the world.

“When two different species breed, the chance is that the eggs are hatched and chickens that survive are extremely low, so this bargain is really,” says Borboroglu about the IT pair and their chickens presented in Penguin’s secrets Last section.

Observe the “Rockaroni” family was a first for the Penguin researcher and National Geographic Explorer.

“It was completely fascinating. Observe a pair of mixed species that successfully raised hybrid chickens in nature was surprising and thought provoking. Seeing these hybrids thrives offers an incredible opportunity to reflect on the penguins’ adaptability and complexity of their behavior,” adds Borborlo.

Penguin’s secrets Says that Rockhopper Mom and Macaronic Dad found love and had a family because they were “driven by environmental press that disturbs typical breeding patterns.”

“As shown in Penguin’s secrets and supported by research, a key factor may be limited to the availability of a friend. In colonies where a species is scarce, individuals can form couples of mixed species of necessity,” says Borboroglu. “Another exciting possibility is that the more pronounced physical properties of macaroniping wine – such as their larger body size, lighter weapons and higher vocalizations – can be interpreted by rockhoppers as signals of stronger body states or higher condition.”

Borboroglu suggests that we “witness evolution in front of our eyes.” If environmental factors force enough rockhoppers and macaroniping wine together, this “hybridization may act as a path to specification.”

“It was a lively reminder that nature is constantly trying to new experiments – and sometimes these experiments succeed in the most unexpected ways,” he says.

Of course, a new species that comes from “rockaroni” trade unions is far down and will be challenged by the unique obstacles “rockaroni” chickens.

“Hybridization between macaroni and rockhopper penguins is extremely rare because of their various breeding behaviors and habitats. When it occurs, the physical differences between the species are added difficulty hybrid chickens are greater and need more food, which puts extra load on the smaller rock jumping parent during chicken birth,”

But that’s not all rough road for “rockaroni” families. The Penguin researcher notes that the chickens may have “evolutionary benefits” in the future.

“Survival and breeding success for” rockaroni “penguins suggest an exceptional level of adaptability. Hybridization may be nature’s response to environmental pressure, creating new genetic combinations that help wildlife to handle varying conditions.”

Borboroglu hoping to meet the Penguin family under Penguin’s secrets Inspires animal lovers to protect the birds. According to the expert, half of the world’s 18 penguin species are listed that threatened or worse on IUCN RED LIST. All penguins face threats created by climate change, overfishing, pollution and breakdown of habitats.

“I hope people get away with a deeper feeling of empathy and admiration for penguins and all marine species. I want them to see how extraordinary these animals are and how delicate their lives can be. Being a penguin in today’s world is extremely difficult. They are tough, resilient, decisive – but despite the fact that they cannot meet they cannot meet they cannot meet they cannot meet they cannot meet the moody.

The conservation is also personally devoted to penguins because the birds have added so much to his life.

“Thanks to the Penguins, I met my wife on a remote island in Patagonia, and they have been part of our journey since then. They also allowed me to show my sons that it is possible to follow your dreams – and fulfill the mission of your life – even against all odds,” he says.

Borboroglu adds, “During my 36 years working with Penguins, I have always shared the same message: If these birds go so incredible to survive and raise their chickens successfully – overcome huge challenges and threats every day – how can we do nothing, even a small act, to help to help their load?”
