FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, THEY PHOTOGRAPH A YELLOW PENGUIN ON AN ISLAND LOCATED IN THE SOUTH OF THE ATLANTIC.
“I've never heard of a yellow penguin.
There were 120,000 birds on that beach and this was the only yellow one there,” said Yves. “Everyone seemed normal, except this one.
It was an incredibly unique experience”. The photographer recounted.
Why is the penguin yellow? It is this color because the cells of the 'leukistic' penguin do not create melanin, that is, its black feathers turn yellow.
According to scientists, the yellow pigment in penguin feathers is chemically different from all other molecules known to give color to the feathers of this species.
