  There's a completly white penguin (at left side of picture). Is that an Albino?

  Hi! Well spotted! It is a #leucistic chick (albinos have red eyes and no pigment while leucistic animals have a lack of it in some parts). We have seen it in many pictures from this site. Feel free to comment any of its pictures 😃 We collect them.

  @Daphne - Just to add that we do welcome your comments noting this special chick, yet we also do explain in the FAQ section that only moderators use hashtags in this project. I've placed a moderator's hashtag for you. (edited to add...)Thanks very much for deleting that pesky little # mark. 😃
