Leucistic chinstrap penguin C016 / 8073
Leucistic chinstrap penguin. Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) inhabit the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands, where they feed mainly on krill and small fish. Leucism is a condition characterised by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin. Photographed on Elephant Island, Antarctica

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the extraordinary beauty of a Leucistic chinstrap penguin, known as C016 / 8073. Found in the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands, these charming creatures are part of the Chinstrap penguin species (Pygoscelis antarctica). With their striking lack of pigmentation due to leucism, they stand out among their black-and-white counterparts. Leucism is a genetic condition that affects animals and humans alike, resulting in reduced pigmentation throughout their bodies. Unlike albinism which only affects melanin production, leucism impacts all types of skin pigment. This unique disorder gives this particular chinstrap penguin its distinct appearance. Photographed on Elephant Island in Antarctica, this image captures the stunning contrast between the icy coast and the unusual bird perched upon it. Known for feeding primarily on krill and small fish found in these frigid waters, chinstrap penguins are flightless seabirds perfectly adapted to survive in this harsh environment. With its biological abnormality drawing attention from scientists and nature enthusiasts alike, this photograph serves as a reminder of both the wonders of genetics and our planet's incredible biodiversity. The intricate details captured by DR P. MARAZZI through Science Photo Library allow us to appreciate not only the individual beauty of this leucistic chinstrap penguin but also reflect on how diverse life can be even within one species.
