Recent spectroscopic analysis of macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) crest feathers and king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) neck feathers have shown they contain a yellow pigment that is chemically distinct from all other molecules known to give color to feathers. "Penguins use the yellow pigment to attract mates and we strongly suspect that the yellow molecule is synthesized.
The intriguing world of penguins with yellow feathers unveils fascinating adaptations and survival strategies.
The yellow colored king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus was spotted after photographer Yves Adams suddenly saw penguins swimming towards the shore. Yves Adams/Kennedy News In December 2019.
The yellow color comes from carotenoid pigments available in the penguin's diet. The yellow supraorbital patch is an elegant evolutionary adaptation that allows emperor penguins to breed and survive in one of the harshest environments on Earth.

The Yellow-eyed Penguin is one of the rarest penguin species in the world. It is found north of the Antarctic Ocean, along the coast of Southern New Zealand (Ellenberg, Mattern and Seddon, 2009). As the name suggests, the penguin is easily identifiable by the yellow colour around its eyes, along with a brightly coloured yellowish line that runs from its eyes round the back of the head.
Besides just black and white, several penguin species also have yellow and gold highlights on their heads, faces, and/or necks, including the great penguins (Aptenodytes spp.) and crested penguins (Eudyptes spp.). In most birds, these colors come from carotenoid pigments obtained through their food. Penguins, however, do it differently.
