Have you ever know chinstrap leucistic penguin guys???we can look at the picture, the penguin has pale black skin, the penguin look very cute because of it skin’s color. It is look different with the other penguin. The normally penguin has black skin. Those penguin was found in Antartika by National Geographic Explorer. The condition of those penguin named Leucism. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Leucism different with albinism, Leucism caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin. Although it has abnormal pigmentation, the penguin can life normally like the other penguin. But because of it skin’s color, the chinstrap leucistic penguin more difficult to get the fish. The skin’s color look clearly in the water, so the other animal can know the penguin easily. I don’t want this cute animal is eaten by the other animal like shark and many other.
The researcher said if Leucistic in penguin is 1 : 146.000. So those phenomena is an amazing phenomenon.
