You might not see anything out of the ordinary with this photo, but this Penguin is not wearing a traditional tux! Andrew Evans captured this photo of a an all-black penguin while traveling in Antarctica.
National Geographic contacted Ornithologist Dr. Allan Baker for comment and he called the penguin “a one in a zillion kind of mutation.” Read more of Dr. Baker’s comments here.
