During 2022, argentinian researchers studying penguins in Antarctica found a melanistic gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) with an unusual plumage coloration in Esperanza/Hope Bay, north of the Antarctic Peninsula. The unusual coloration of the penguin was identified as melanism, a genetic condition that causes an excess of melanin pigment in feathers, this phenomenon is also found in other vertebrates. This partially black gentoo pengui appeared to be in good health and exhibited normal behavior. According to scientists, melanism is unusual, and may occurs in one in 250,000 penguins.

(via This penguin survives on 4-second microsleeps — thousands of times a day)

Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus) nod off more than 10,000 times a day for an average of 4 seconds at a time, researchers have found. The short snoozes, which add up to more than 11 hours of daily sleep, seem to be enough to fulfil at least some of the restorative functions of sleep, according to a study published today in Science1.
