Adélie Penguins

== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The typical adélie penguin is a four-limbed, avian bipedal Feralian of average size.
Like other Spheniscids, adélie penguins have flippers, webbed feet, and streamlined bodies. Adélie penguins can also be distinguished from their cousins the emperor penguins and the little blue penguins by their darker eye colors, the feathers on the bases of their beaks, their white eye rings, and their pink feet.
The standard feather color of an adult adélie penguin is a dark back and head, either solid black or black ticked with grey, and a white or cream underbelly and underside of the flippers and tail.
Baby adélie penguins are born with solid brown or grey feathers, and their feathers change to their adult colors as they age. Juveniles often sport patches of both colorations.
There are several unusual color patterns seen in adélie penguins, including: 
*Albinism: Where the penguin's feathers are entirely white.
*Leucism: Where the penguin's feathers appear brown, cream, or grey in areas where they would normally be black.
*Melanism: Where the penguin's feathers are entirely black.
In all cases, these traits are rare and tend to run in families.
