The world's first golden penguin was found in Antarctica. Why did it turn golden?

Found in the Antarctic, the world's first golden penguin will turn golden and should be albino.

On February 20th, according to media reports, Belgian photographer Adams shared a photo of a golden penguin online. The photographer said that the photo was accidentally taken during the scientific research in 20 19, and it was the first golden penguin ever discovered.

As for this rare golden penguin, experts say it should be albino, so it won't produce melanin. Golden emperor penguins will use some yellow feathers to attract the opposite sex. It is not clear whether this penguin is more popular in the group.

The Golden Penguin may have a tragic ending:

Although the "Golden Penguin" is the most unique, Cha may also make it die the worst. Because this rare golden penguin's back is not black, when it feels cold and uses its back to "warm" the sun, the effect of "heating" will be greatly reduced, so it may become a "frozen" penguin because of the cold.

Its back is not very black. When it swims in the ocean looking for food, it may be found and eaten by some big birds in the sky.
