Weekly Penguin

Weekly Penguin 459

After a small break, it is time for more plush penguins! This one was sold as a part of the Ciraf brand – others sold in the brand being Mimo and The Miniboss. And yes, it is a penguin despite its colours. On the contrary, the colour scheme of this little fellow is spot on – for a leucistic penguin, that is. Leucism is a genetic mutation that restricts dissemination of pigments, leaving them 'blond' but not quite albino.

For comparison, here's a National Geographic footage showcasing a real leucisitic Chinstrap Penguin waddling among its black-and-white friends at Antarctica.
