In African Penguins, only three previous cases of colour aberrations have been scientifically recorded, all of them incorrectly named isabellinism.
“In African Penguins Spheniscus demersus, only three previous cases of colour aberrations have been scientifically recorded, all of them incorrectly named isabellinism (Everitt & Miskelly 2003, Smith & Voogt 2014).”

Only three wild African Penguins with plumage aberrations ('brown,' ino, and phaeomelanism) have been scientifically recorded to date, all within Algoa Bay.
“However, only three wild African Penguins with plumage aberrations (“brown,” ino, and phaeomelanism) have been scientifically recorded to date, all within Algoa Bay (Everitt & Miskelly 2003, Smith & Voogt 2014), although these aberrations may occur through the entire range of this species.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
