Featherless Penguin Wearing Wetsuit

April 5, 2011

Angelin (L), an avian management officer, watches as a featherless Humboldt penguin (R) wearing a wetsuit goes for a swim inside the enclosure at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore on April 4, 2011. The 10-year-old penguin has been experiencing continued feather loss since 2010 and is being treated with customized wetsuits. The suit acts like a natural feather covering, providing warmth and insulation which also helps new feather growth. Photo Credit: Roslan Rahman / AFP - Getty Images
