The incredible power of nature: You've never seen a penguin like this

The photograph that fired on the unusual animal called the experience a <x0 display throughout its lifetime”.

The yellow penguin has been seen among thousands of black - and - white penguins on the South Atlantic island.

Yves Adams, who photographed the penguin, says he has never heard of a yellow penguin before.

There were 120,000 birds on the beach, and this was the only yellow one among them,” said Adams.

Adams is the leader of an expedition from Belgium that stopped on an island in South Georgia to photograph a colony of at least 120,000 penguins.

We noticed something bright, a penguin seemed really strange, and when I looked up, it was yellow. We all got excited when we realized it was a yellow penguin. We threw out all the security devices and captured the” cameras, Adams said.

Scientists believe this to be a special pigmentation of feathers. In 2012, a white penguin was spotted in a colony in Antarctica. His appearance was thought to be due to a genetic mutation.

In Galapagos National Park last year, an unusual resident, a rare white penguin, was seen.

Scholar Daniel Thomas said that penguins use stronger pigmentation to attract friends and that it is possible that this is the case with the newly discovered yellow penguin, but such an specimen has not been observed so far.
