In 2011, a baby penguin born in a Chinese zoo without feathers was rejected by his parents. Zookeepers discovered he had digestive problems, so they hand-fed him until he grew feathers and was reunited with his parents.

That must have been an awkward reunion. Also I love how they had stuffed penguins as a stand in family.

After that nonsense, his parents don’t deserve him. He’s worthy of so much better

They gave him emotional support stuffies🥹

These birds are simply sunbathing—it’s great for their well-being

The other day I read here “I recently learned that “Penguin” in Mandarin is translated as “business goose” and I can’t think of anything else really.” and now I also can’t stop thinking about it.

His parents didn’t deserve him!

What a shitty parents…

Isn’t that the plot for Happy Feet? I got a feeling it can tap dance.

Rejection behavior exist in birds?

This is what humans should be for animals, instead….

Poor baby 🥺

So… they did exactly what a keeper in a zoo is supposed to do? Especially that first his problems were caused by mishandling of the parents and not providing them enough nutrients. So they fixed their mistakes. And they are heroes?

Pretty sure China still treats mentally ill and cognitive impaired people like horror shows putting them in asylums and families in rural villages have been known to chain these family members up in backyard shacks; but hey if your a Penguin in Schenzchen then you win win
