Balding Penguin Gets Custom Wetsuit

This little featherless Humboldt penguin was given a special wetsuit so it can fit in with its friends. Looks like someone’s jealous…
A featherless Humboldt penguinin a wetsuit walks past king penguins in the enclosure at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore on April 4. The 10-year-old penguin has been experiencing continued feather loss since 2010 and is being treated with customised wetsuits. The suit acts like a natural feather covering, providing warmth and insulation which also helps new feathers grow and prevents moulting.
