A Story That Happened 9 Years Ago About A Baby Penguin Abandoned By Its Mother, Is Thrilling The Internet

A 2011 story widely reported by mainstream media about a bald penguin who lost his family (not forever) because of his unusual look touched the hearts of Reddit users. In the photo, the featherless bird seemed to have known all the sadness in the world.

On the Reddit website, there is a section called "Today ilearned" where, as the name implies, interesting facts and news from the past and present usually appear. On the 23rd, over 70,000 positive points made a publication about a penguin without feathers, who was born and would become a hero in 2011, is becoming viral.

"Til a baby penguin was born without feathers in a Chinese zoo and was thus rejected by his parents, but the zookeepers found out he had digestion problems so they fed him by hand until he grew feathers and was reunited with his parents," said the user 'croatiankiwi73' in your post.

Abandoned at birth, a baby penguin was accepted back by his family with the help of the employees of an aquarium in China. The little penguin was rejected by his parents for having no feathers, and was often kicked away when trying to return, according to an aquarium breeder. After examining him, the aquarium veterinarians discovered that digestive problems caused the shortage of feathers. After a month of changes in the animal's diet and some special care, the little one was able to get his feathers and family back.

The old penguin report found a lively response from Reddit users. The commentators not only sympathized with the crumbs, but also rejoiced in the happy ending: the story seemed very reminiscent of what is happening among people today.
