Standing Out from the Crowd

I’m still struggling with Internet access. Thought I’d give you a little eye candy to enjoy until I can post something more substantive.

I love this little Goth penguin and the fact that he’s accepted for who he is in his Adelie community. This is not always the case for similar melanistic members of other species. For more pics and information, check out researcher Noah Strycker’s Among the Penguins blog—where you’ll also see a blond Adelie and a black Emperor.
