All Black Penguin

Alright, so an editor for National Geographics by the name of Andrew Evans spotted a rare all-black penguin on a recent trip to Antartica. Biologist say that the penguin has lost its pigmentation, a mutation  that is one-in-a-zillion.

There are some partially-black penguins, about one in every quarter million, scientists say. But this is the only one known to exist that is all black.

Aww. It seems that all of the penguins have accepted him. Usually, animals have been known to attack members of their groups that are “too different”. He’s like a little Happy Feet. It’s so cute!!!
