A new
investigation carried out by scientists of the Natural History Museum of United Kingdom have discovered trough 17 fossils founded in South Africa, that around
12 millions of years ago on the coasts of Africa, could live even 4 different
kinds of penguins. As they have explained to scientists from all over the
world, the fragments of the bones founded, belong to parts of the spinal
column, sternum, wings and legs. Furthermore, thanks to these fossils they have
been able to know all the movements of these penguins.
Nowadays only
one type of penguin (Cabo penguins) continues living in these coasts. However,
this kind of animals are endangered since 2012 because it population has
declined 80% in the last 50 years. Scientist warns to oil-bearing companies to
stop working in South Africa coasts because they are killing sardines and
anchovies, the favourite food of this animal.
To conclude
scientists don’t know the causes of the extinction of this prehistorically
animal between 5-7 millions to 10-12 million years ago. But is the human
responsible of this extinction? A big question with an answer waiting to
be discovered.
In my opinion this is a very good writing, which includes nice grammar used and great vocabulary. Maybe I woul have made the first paragraph in two. The first one just with a short introduction of what the reader is going to read.
