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.

🤍!

Trees die differently than people. Trees look as if they enjoyed their dying. It's true, spring will return and again they will burst into bloom. But as you well know, one can never be sure. And how can trees know that? Surely for them every fall is the last one.

hiiii! just found your story and I love it so far! also I dont know if youve heard this already but have this weird fun fact: Sutek means 'Nipple' in polish haha! It always brings a smile when I read smth about him because of that lol

Hahaha! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far!

As for Sutek AKA Mr. Nipple...

Picture it anon. It's at the beginning of HAT's release. I've meticulously crafted my characters, their storylines, and the romances each will have. I've picked out names and surnames and houses. I thought that I had taken everything into account.

Except for one thing. The Polish language.

It's how I discovered that some of my earliest readers speak polish. Because here is this character who is supposed to be a fearsome opponent with the potential to turn into something more and what reaction did my polish audience have?
