Anyone visiting the Gdansk Zoo in Poland reportedly now has the opportunity to observe a most uncommon creature – an albino penguin.

The rare bird, who came into the world in December, is unlike many others in its breed in that it does not bear the traditional "tuxedo" black markings associated with the animal, according to The Associated Press.

Its atypical look reportedly would’ve proved to be problematic had it lived in the wild because others penguins would not have accepted it and the likelihood of its survival would’ve been low.

The baby penguin "would have become the very first to be attacked by predators," zoo director Michal Targowski told the outlet on Friday.

At the zoo, the animal has its parents and two other friendly penguins.

'Gay penguins' to raise first chick; given foster egg at Sydney aquarium

The Sun ^ | Oct 13, 2018 | Patrick Knox

A gay penguin couple have started a family after it was decided to let them have an egg to nurture.

Sphen and Magic have become so inseparable they have been allowed to start a nest with each other in Sea Life, in Sydney, Australia.

The same-sex couple - collectively known as Sphengic - began forging an intense relationship with each other just before breeding season got underway.

The Gento penguins could be seen waddling in tandem and swimming alongside and were so close it was decided to let them adopt.

But before this they were given antenatal classes.

This entailed the flightless birds being given a dummy egg to allow them to practice incubating and develop their parenting skills.

Which puts to rest the lie about White Privilege.

I’m not surprised to hear about this. Not at all.

Back in 2007 Al Gore said in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech: “Within 12 years Global Warming will cause albino penguins to be born in Polish zoos.”

Coincidentally, Bynoe is a fairly common name among American blacks! There are probably dozens, perhaps hundreds of Al Bynoes.

Knew a real sleazy slime ball, wannabe gangster once by the name of Salvatore Minella, aka Sal Minella.




Lol! Just kidding.
