Bald Penguin Cast Out By Family
This adorable penguin faced a real cold front from his family — who cast him out when he was born without hair. The little critter suffered from a rare condition that left him completely bald. Wang Dan — who works at the aquarium in Dalian, China, where the penguin lives — said: "In the beginning we tried to send him back to his parents, hoping they would still take care of him and help him grow stronger, but they neglected him and even kicked him out." Keepers then set up a round-the-clock watch and hand-fed the animal for a month until he grew stronger. He also eventually grew hair — and his family accepted him back into the fold. Lucky him, it would have been a beak life otherwise...  ·  · |

Re: Bald Penguin Cast Out By Family
I've always regarded the penguins as petty, uncaring and superficial. Fuck penguins. Really, he'd been better off without them in the long-run.
