Unusual bow-tie penguins discovered off southern Chile
Scientists have discovered an unusual colony of Magellanic penguins on an isolated island off the coast of southern Chile. Dr. Wills Derekson and his team made the discovery while conducting a wildlife survey in the region. According to Dr. Derekson, these Magellanic penguins had the same plumage (colors, pattern, and arrangement of feathers) of others in the species, except for an odd pattern on the birds’ upper chest, just below the neck, shaped like a bow tie.
