Image of the Day


Melanistic King Penguin 1, originally uploaded by PeterVermont.

Color variation also occurs in all species of penguin. A recessive gene produced this melanistic King Penguin. The poster states it's rarity by noticing that out of 150,000 penguins in a particular rookery, this was the only melanistic penguin.
