Penguins are unknowingly starving themselves as they are not eating real food. They are harming their digestive system and other processes of growth and development by eating plastic.
Penguins are an important part of the marine food chain. They bring from the ocean many essential nutrients to land when they come back from swimming or hunting. And like all animals, they release nutrients back to earth. However, plastic debris is reaching Antarctica in the form of micro-plastics, plastic waste, etc, and the penguins are having a hard time. Micro-plastics, as the name suggests, are small pieces of plastic. These are any pieces of plastic that are less than five millimeters long.
Micro-plastics have various sources like degraded plastic debris from beauty products, medical products, and so on. Aquatic life often mistakes it as food. Penguin can either eat pieces of plastic directly or they can indirectly eat it when they eat fish who eat them as well.
