All-black penguin discovered
King Penguins (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/up-to-three-quarters-of-antarctic-penguins-will-die-two-degree-temperature-rise.php) are notorious for their prim, tuxedoed appearance -- but a recently discovered all-black penguin seems unafraid to defy convention. In what has been described as a "one in a zillion kind of mutation," biologists say that the animal has lost control of its pigmentation (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/01/rare-brown-and-white-panda-could-be-the-result-of-inbreeding.php), an occurrence that is extremely rare. Other than the penguin's monochromatic outfit, the animal appears to be perfectly healthy -- and then some. "Look at the size of those legs," said one scientist, "It's an absolute monster".
