Scientists identify new penguin species after century — Sep 27, 2026Genomic analysis has revealed that gentoo penguins comprise four distinct species, including the newly identified southeastern gentoo, Pygoscelis kerguelensis, on the remote Kerguelen Islands—the first penguin species newly named in more than a century. Researchers warn that three of the four species could face severe habitat loss, underscoring conservation risks that may be obscured when the penguins are treated as one species.
