A little help for the underdog please....


ok - so maybe it is the "underpenguin"....
I love this story! This is Pierre a 25 year old (ie elderly) penguin who started losing the feathers on his hiney, which led to an "embarrassingly exposed, pale pink behind." And it left him shivering because he is really just a scrawny bird under those feathers that are suppose to keep him warm. Think Betty with no feathers. He would shiver and shake.
First they tried a heat lamp and then the decided to make him a customized wetsuit. He loves it and frolics in the chilly water with his buddies.
Just goes to show...all species and age ranges can benefit from a little accommodation.
