Penguins bald too



Biologists in California created a wetsuit for a 25-year-old African penguin named Pierre. In his ripe old age, Pierre was going bald and losing the precious waterproof feathers that the species rely on for warmth when swimming. Now with his sweet new outfit, he's back in the water and his feathers are returning. The scientists were afraid that the other penguins would reject his new look, but they have accepted him, hidden bald spot and all. -Diana
