Exercise 3
The graph below shows changes in the size of an Emperor penguin population in terms of numbers of breeding pairs on the island of Terre Adelie in the Antarctic. Scientists used this data along with data on the penguins' shrinking ice habitat to project a general decline in the island's Emperor penguin population, to the point where they will be endangered in 2100. Use the graph to answer the questions on the right.

Scientists used this data along with data on the penguins' shrinking ice habitat to project a general decline in the island's Emperor penguin population, to the point where they will be endangered in 2100. Use the graph to answer the questions on the right.     Assuming that the penguin population fluctuates around the carrying capacity, what was the approximate carrying capacity of the island for the penguin population from 1960 to 1975? What was the approximate carrying capacity of the island for the penguin population from 1980 tO<sub>2</sub>010?
