What’s black and orange and in the wild?
Summary
The document highlights five animal species—the monarch butterfly, emperor penguin, tiger, puffin, and clown fish—detailing their physical characteristics, behaviors, and habitats. It specifically notes that climate change reduces food availability for monarch butterflies and, along with habitat loss, poses risks to emperor penguins.
Key insights
- Monarch butterflies are vital pollinators that migrate up to 2,800 miles from Canada and the United States to forests in central Mexico to hibernate in milder climates. Climate change is reducing the amount of food available to these butterflies.
- Emperor penguins, which can reach four feet in height and 80 pounds in weight, are threatened by habitat loss and climate change.
- Tigers possess unique stripe patterns that allow WWF scientists to identify individuals when counting populations.
