## Caption

One of nature's rarest sights 🤍 🐧 This gentoo penguin's stark white colour is the result of leucism, a rare genetic mutation. Unlike albinism, it only partially affects pigmentation and has been seen across several species, from whales to even giraffes. #GentooPenguin #WhitePenguin #RareMutation
