All-black penguin found in Antarctica

Photographer Andrew Evans photographed this incredibly rare all-black penguin in Antarctica recently and National Geographic posted a video of the animal doing the waddle.

Apparently this pigment mutation is a “one in a zillion” mutation. I wonder if the other normal penguins stay away from this one.

    And who are you to define what makes a penguin “normal.” This is penguin racist.
