White Gentoo Penguin

Here's a very special penguin! This is a Gentoo Penguin with leucism, a condition that only affects around 1 in 20,000 Gentoos and results in white feathers. Watch as she returns to her nest to feed her chick.

A shiny gentoo penguin!

[@beebesina]

She's definitely a survivor, considering her lack of protective coloration... stay safe and happy brave white mommy pengie!

I wonder if the leucism makes it difficult for a penguin to find a mate.

[@malevores]

She found a mate

[@luudest]

Wondered that too. Other birds kill their offspring if it is of ‚other‘ color.

Beautiful!

2:05 Large amount of regurgitation.

[@damienrubensson2211]

Yeah those gentoo chicks ain't no joke when it comes to food consumption.. The highest food to weight ratio out of all the penguin chick species.
