Female bird has leucism, which can make it easier for it to be spotted by predators

    I came in just to see if there were many Linux comments, and at the time of this post, and of what is visible to me, there are only Linux related comments.

    I think that’s just one of the official binary penguins that were released last month.

    I love articles that answer my questions right away.

    Female, not albino. Has leucism, which causes washed out pigmentation. It’s white and brown.

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
