Show HN is specifically for things users can try out. I don't think a YouTube video qualifies.

The fact that the habitat is unfragmented means the virus can more easily spread through the entire population, and not just to more penguins, but to anything else that lives there, given it is affecting mammals too.

Good to know.

This is one of my pet peeves. I wish OP (in general) would comment as to why they're posting, what they found interesting. I don't flag these posts, but they do sometimes feel like a lazy karma-grab.
