- An extremely rare all-white penguin spotted in Chilean Antarctica.
- The penguin spotted at the Gabrial Gonzalez Videla Base is a female of the Gentoo species, which typically has black feathers with a few whites.
- Although the condition is commonly genetic, trauma can also cause it.
- It differs from albinism as the penguin's eyes and beak are the usual colour.
- About eight years ago, a rare white penguin was spotted in the colony.
