Penguin in a Wetsuit!

Most penguins have their own built-in wetsuits, but not this little guy!

Most penguins have their own built-in wetsuits, but not this little guy!

Because the baby wasn't growing properly, zoo officials removed her (him?) from "The Living Coast" exhibit to hand feed the bird a weight-gain regimen of fish shakes six times a day!

Yes, that's a real live stuffed penguin to make sure the lil one doesn't become too attached to the humans. If you think that's cute, watch the baby kissing the standing stuffy in another video when you read more
