Population drops by 90% in 30 years

The population is king penguins.


It is the largest colony in the world. It is located on a French island roughly half way between the tip of Africa and Antarctica.  The last time scientists visited the island (in the 1980s), there were two million of the flightless birds, which stand about three feet tall. Now, there are 200,000. Why? They don't know.
