Meet the penguin with a heart-shaped breast
He is an Emperor penguin chick whose change of plumage into adulthood was brrrrrilliantly blessed by Mother Nature.
The white heart-shaped patch on his chest is a natural formation due to the moulting of his feathers.
The baby penguin is blissfully aware that not only is he the focus of a heart-warming image, but that he is also literally one in a million too.
Award-winning photographer and wildlife film-maker Sue Flood said that in the 20 years she has been taking pictures in the Arctic and Antarctic, and on more than 30 trips to the frozen plains, she had never picked up such a penguin phenomenon.
