This story cut me to the heart, what nice people live among us!!! Have you heard about a penguin in a wetsuit? Not yet? Than - enjoy. You may think that is sounds like a joke, but NO, thanks to the biologists at the California Academy of Sciences, a 25-years-old penguin now can lead a normal life among his penguin-friends.

Penguin Wetsuit

Why? Because Pierre, a penguin was going bald, and unlike other marine animal, penguins don’t have any other defenses against cold whether and water but for their warm feather coat. A special small wetsuit was created for this African penguin and thanks God, it helped Pierre to stay among his friends and feel himself like a normal penguin.

It was awful, scientist said, that Pierre was shivering and couldn’t swim. What I like the most, his buds liked new look of Pierre!!!

    I love this story. I have also recently learned that Pierre’s hair grew back and he doesn’t use the wet suite anymore and he lived happily ever after. :)
