  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!!!

  Fear vs. Phobia 

  Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

  Phobia is a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

  So, a discussion came up about fear being learned. Me, being a behaviorist, I do believe fear is learned. Michael stated that phobias can occur without being exposed to anything, to just have a fear of something without reinforcement or punishment.

  Some research needs to be done on my part. Im not an expert in phobias, but I just really dont see how someone can be afraid of something they havent experienced and learned to be afraid of it.
