Penguins are known for their ‘tuxedo’ like the exterior, but did you know there are also yellow penguins?
Yves Adams, a Belgian photo-tour, expedition guide, and wildlife photographer has clicked the picture of this penguin. “I’d never seen or heard of a yellow penguin before,” Adams said. “There were 120,000 birds on that beach and this was the only yellow one there.”
Belgian photo tour guide Yves Adams managed to find one such specimen in South Georgia
The bird’s yellow color is caused by leucism, a condition that makes the animal partially lose its pigmentation
It is estimated that leucism occurs in 1 in 20,000 to 146,000 penguins
Ever since the pictures surfaced, they have been going viral, getting over 100k upvotes on Reddit alone
“It was heaven that he landed by us. If it had been 50 meters away we wouldn’t have been able to get this show of a lifetime,” said Adams
