The first golden penguin was found in the Antarctic. What do you know about penguins?

A Belgian photographer recently released a strange set of photos: he captured one of the 12, emperor penguins during an Antarctic expedition? Never seen before? Golden penguin. According to foreign media, this is the world's first golden corporate goose ever discovered. According to reports, wildlife photographer Yves? It took Yves Adams more than a year to publish this set of priceless photos. Because he took thousands of photos, he had to spend a lot of time sorting out the information.

Adams led a two-month expedition. He came across this rare penguin on South Georgia Island in the Atlantic Ocean. ? I have never seen or heard of golden penguins before. There are 12, penguins on Na Pianhai Beach, only this one is different. ?

Adams' lens recorded the golden penguin flapping its forelimbs in the water with its belly down, and it waddled with other black and white birds. ? Luckily for us, this penguin landed right where we were. Our vision has not been blocked by countless penguins. Usually, it is almost impossible for us to move on this beach because of their existence. ?

Adams thinks this should be one? Albino? The lost penguin's cells no longer produce melanin, so its black feathers turn yellow and cream. Experts say,? Albino? It is usually caused by gene mutation of individual animals, which leads to the obstruction of pigment synthesis in animals and presents white, golden white or light gold in external morphology.

A pure white penguin was found in the colony of hooded penguins in Antarctica, which is thought to be due to gene mutation that diluted the pigment in the penguin feathers. Some scientists also suspect that this phenomenon represents the discovery of a new feather pigment. Researcher Daniel? Daniel Thomas said:? Penguins use yellow pigments to attract the opposite sex. We strongly suspect that yellow molecules are synthesized in penguins. ? It is different from the five known bird feather pigments and represents a new sixth feather pigment. ? Thomas thinks.

Penguin is a very lovely animal, mainly living in Antarctica. There are 7 species of Antarctic penguins, about 12 million, accounting for 87% of the total number of penguins in the world. Small fish and krill are the main foods of penguins. There are three main species of penguins near the Great Wall Station in China Antarctic, namely, Jintu penguin, hooded penguin and Adele penguin. These penguins mainly live in Adele Island. Because there are many penguins on the island, the island is also called Penguin Island.

Penguins are birds, but they can't fly. They often walk in the ice and snow at minus 6℃ with gentlemanly steps. Penguins are oviparous animals, and females only lay one egg at a time. But the six-week incubation mission is undertaken by the male penguin. Its abdomen is like an incubator at 34℃, so don't worry that penguin eggs will freeze here. During this period, the penguin father will starve. For the sake of his baby, he can't jump into the sea to fish to satisfy his hunger. All his energy is taken from the fat stored in his body.

There are about 2.5 million penguins in the world, and there are 18 species in * * *. These animals are very human. They are monogamous, and they will stay together for life and be loyal forever. The way of communication between them is through sound, for example, quacking means happiness, moaning means chatting after dinner, and shrill voice means warning. Adult penguins are generally 1.2 meters tall and weigh 3 kilograms. Little penguins can swim in the sea when they are one year old, and the life span of penguins is usually 7-15 years.

Penguins are the best snorkelers in Antarctica. What are their feet in the water? Engine? The speed can reach 25 kilometers per hour. Because they have two airbags, the diving time can be as long as 2 minutes. Their feathers are hard and smooth, like a diving suit. ?

Penguins mainly live in Antarctica. If a cold current strikes, they will huddle together tightly and look like a black carpet from a distance. It is because of this collective spirit that they are regarded as very intelligent animals.

Penguins have amazing ability to regulate metabolism. Only essential parts of the whole body are at work, and the metabolism of other parts is very smooth. Scientists put sensors on a dozen species of penguins living in the waters between Antarctica and Africa, and they got some very surprising figures. The normal temperature of a penguin is 38℃. After diving, its abdominal temperature drops to 11℃, while its stomach temperature remains above 3℃. The fish eaten by penguins is very cold (only 4? 5℃, which caused its body temperature to drop, while its stomach temperature remained unchanged, so far people can not give a satisfactory explanation. ?
