It’s not all black and white for this penguin.
A ‘never seen’ yellow penguin was captured on camera by a Belgian nature photographer, which makes nature lovers skate with joy.
Yves Adams took photos of a colony of 120,000 king penguins in South Georgia, an island in the southern Atlantic, in December 2019, when he spotted the rare bird, he told Kennedy News.
“It was heaven that he landed with us,” Adams said. “If it was 50 meters away, we would not be able to get this show of a lifetime.”
Adams’ series of captivating shots shows the canary-yellow creature slamming into the water and staggering past its conventional counterparts.
Close-ups show the penguin – whose color is due to the pigmentation-state leucism – with full yellow plumage, and even yellow peepers.
Adams shared photos from animal Instagram this week and made bird lovers swoon.
“It’s absolutely wonderful,” said one observer.
‘Thank you for sharing this with the world! I shared with my beloved child and her friends, “another added.
Normal penguins often use yellow feather highlights to attract mates – but it is unclear whether the extremely rare birdwatching makes him a golden boy with the girls.
“We were so lucky that the bird just landed there,” Adams said. ” [It was] never seen before. ”
