Penguin fingerprints
July 5th, 2008So here’s an interesting discovery…
Apparently african penguins have a series of dots in their chest feathers that are uniquely the’rs and remain the same their entire life. This is much like a human fingerprint - no two penguins have the same exact pattern.
Now, penguins are starting to track penguins using these markers to identify individual penguins.
Oh how we love science!
