Just under six million Adelie penguins live along 5,000 kilometers of East Antarctica's coasts, according to a study published on Wednesday, 3.6 million more than previously estimated.
A team of researchers from Australia, France and Japan used aerial and ground surveys, automated cameras and tagging and resighting data to conduct a census of the penguins over multiple breeding seasons, according to a statement from the official Australian Antarctic Division (AAD).
