Unique albino from Polish zoo named international penguin of the year

/© Gdansk Zoo, © Notes from Poland

An albino penguin born in a zoo in the Polish city of Gdańsk – the only one of its kind kept in captivity in the world – has been chosen as penguin of the year in an international contest.

Five-year-old female African penguin Kokosanka won almost 83% of public votes cast in the final round of March Of The Penguin Madness, an annual contest organised by Penguins International, an organisation committed to preserving and protecting penguins.

As a reward for her success, Kokosanka was presented by staff at her zoo with a cake made from herring caught in the nearby Baltic Sea, her favourite snack.

When Kokosanka hatched in Gdańsk in December 2018, her birth was initially kept a secret. Her carers feared that her albinism would mean she had poor health or that she would be rejected by her parents and other penguins.

Although Kokosanka was indeed initially rejected by her parents, with the support of her keepers she has grown into a healthy adult, well integrated with the other 84 penguins living at the zoo on Poland’s northern Baltic coast.

She has also become an informal face of Gdańsk Zoo, which offers Kokosanka-themed merchandise to its visitors.

🤍!

Hey guys, did you know that it's world penguin day today? And some of you might know that I love penguins a lot! Some of you might even remember this pride penguin series that I did a while ago. I never posted them all together so here we go. The whole collection for you to enjoy. Happy penguin day, y'all! :D

[image ID: Nine digital drawings of various pengiun species. All of them are wearing flower corwns on their heads. Each penguin has different flowers on their head and a different pride flag in a circle behind them as background. More detailed description in alt text. End ID.]

PENGUINS. all of them!

(not precisely to scale, but close)

#most species have a range of several inches and i was just eyeballin it #re: little vs fairy #wikipedia has them divided into two species (aus vs nz i think) #if this hadn't been so hastily put together i wouldnt have based it solely on wikipedia #and probably would've actually gone with the global penguin society who lists them as one #i'm no expert and have no idea what sort of taxonomical debates are going on & whether this is a hotly contested issue #but i did switch to just one when i updated this for prints and such #penguins #animals #animal art #birds #id in alt #all the things

Idk if other people have been following the March of Penguin Madness (zoo competition to name the worlds cutest penguin) but the aggressive campaigning from news stations for their local penguins has been my favorite part

Vote here! The competition is over soon

It just occurred to me that flamingos and emperor penguins are literally elemental opposites.

Flamingos raise their young in the middle of a lake of boiling salt as a sort of species-wide "try it if you think you're hard enough" to every predator on the planet, and emperor penguins achieve the same effect by having as their breeding season Antarctica in winter.

If a flamingo and an emperor penguin ever met, the consequences would be unimaginable.
