Are there any seeded penguins on Level 197?

No. The first decoded frame is a blank 10x10 board with no seeded penguin and no opening white X.

Does Level 197 contain a red mistake?

No. The decoded route shows white logical X propagation only, and all three hearts remain at completion.

The tenth penguin goes at r2c7 in the orange territory, completing Unbelievable with all three hearts remaining.

Zoodoku Level 197 is an unseeded 10x10 penguin board; follow r9c1, r10c10, r8c8, r6c4, r3c5, r5c6, r7c2, r4c3, r1c9, and r2c7.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Place the first penguin at r9c1 in the yellow territory; this starts the visible white X propagation.
Place the second penguin at r10c10 in the green corner.
Place the third penguin at r8c8 in the purple territory.
Place the fourth penguin at r6c4 in the brown singleton.
Place the fifth penguin at r3c5 in the teal singleton.
Place the sixth penguin at r5c6 in the light-blue territory.
Place the seventh penguin at r7c2 in the light-green territory.
Place the eighth penguin at r4c3 in the mauve territory.
Place the ninth penguin at r1c9 in the pink territory.
Finish with the tenth penguin at r2c7 in the orange territory, then confirm Unbelievable.

Colors in this level:

Mauve, Orange, Pink, Light-green, Light-blue, Brown, Purple, Yellow, Green, Teal

Do not substitute r9c5 for the opening yellow target r9c1: the later teal placement at r3c5 needs column c5.
Do not swap the final r1c9 and r2c7 choices; the source places pink r1c9 before orange r2c7 after the mauve r4c3 closure.

Open from yellow r9c1, then take green r10c10 and purple r8c8 before the brown center at r6c4.
Keep the late top-row order exact: mauve r4c3, pink r1c9, then orange r2c7; no red error is present to guide the choice.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: The 10x10 opening has mauve, orange, and pink across the top, light-green through the left and center, light-blue and brown pockets, purple along the lower-right, yellow at r9c1/r9c5, and a green r10c10 corner.
Goal: Place ten penguins in the verified source order r9c1, r10c10, r8c8, r6c4, r3c5, r5c6, r7c2, r4c3, r1c9, and r2c7, using each territory once.
Opening: The first decoded frame has no seeded penguin and no opening X. Accepted r9c1 starts the white X propagation; the source then climbs through r10c10, r8c8, r6c4, and r3c5.
Danger Zone: No red failed tap appears. Keep yellow r9c1 rather than the other yellow-looking r9c5, because r9c5 shares column c5 with the later teal r3c5.
Mechanics: This is an unseeded ten-penguin 10x10 board with only white logical X propagation; the final capture shows Unbelievable, ten penguins, and all three hearts remaining.
