Today, I saw the first photo of the golden king penguin, and I thought it was very strange. It is said that because of albinism, it is impossible to produce melanin, and it has become different.
The black and white on normal penguins are their protective colors, because when penguins hunt in the water, the white of their abdomen is similar to the color of the sky, and their black backs are similar to the color of the sky when looking into the water, so as to confuse the sight of predators and protect themselves. As a result, this golden penguin, which has no black back, is at higher risk of survival in nature.
Different things often have two outcomes in the group: the stars hold the moon or are isolated, and penguins tend to choose individuals with more yellow on their bodies when choosing a mate, so don't worry too much about being isolated by the group, hoping that it can protect itself!
There are 18 species of penguins, the largest one is the emperor penguin, check the difference between the emperor penguin and the king penguin:
1. Body size difference: emperor penguins are larger than king penguins. Emperor penguins can reach more than 1 meter in body and weigh up to 50 kilograms; King penguins weigh 15-16 kg.
2. The difference in mouth: King penguins have a more slender mouth, and emperor penguins have shorter mouths.
3. Color difference: Both have orange feathers on their necks, but the orange feathers on the neck of the king penguin extend down and backward in an area larger than the emperor penguin.
4. Distribution area: King penguins and emperor penguins both live in the southern hemisphere, but the specific distribution latitude is different. Emperor penguins are distributed between 66-78 degrees south latitude, and the latitude of distribution is relatively high. King penguins are also distributed in places with relatively low latitudes, not only in the Antarctic region, but also in some countries with relatively low latitudes, such as Chile and Argentina.
