Featherless penguin warms up with adorable tiny wetsuit

An adorable penguin is keeping warm with a little help from her human friends.
The penguin, named Wonder Twin, is a resident of SeaWorld Orlando. Unfortunately, she was having trouble regulating her body temperature due to feather loss.

SeaWorld says that feather loss is a natural occurrence that could have been detrimental in the wild population. However, with human intervention and a little creative costuming, it's not so serious anymore.
The benevolent humans over at SeaWorld have found a way to make sure Wonder Twin will be able to stay warm.
The SeaWorld costuming department, which creates the wardrobe for the theme park employees, made a miniature wetsuit for Wonder Twin. Their goal was for it to provide the same type of insulation feathers would.
Maria Barreto, the wardrobe craftsperson responsible for the tiny wetsuit, calls it, "the best project," she has ever worked on.
With her snazzy new suit, Wonder Twin can sleep, eat, and swim with the rest of her colony of penguins.
Add some neoprene to her outfit and little Wonder Twin looks just like a superhero!
