One Off Wetsuit Designed For A Penguin
Planning on visiting Seaworld’s Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin at SeaWorld Orlando, well if you are you will see one penguin that does not quite look like the others. She’s wearing her very own and very fetching seaworld wetsuit.
The female Adelie penguin recently experienced feather loss, which can happen to penguins in their natural habitats and wild populations. As a result of her feather loss, the bird had a hard time naturally regulating her body temperature.
SeaWorld’s aviculture team set out to assist her and created a wetsuit to mimic her former coat of feathers. The coat was designed and sewn by SeaWorld’s wardrobe department and custom fit just for her.
While wearing her wetsuit the penguin swims, sleeps and eats alongside her fellow penguins. This is just another extraordinary example of how SeaWorld Orlando cares for the marine animals at the park.
