This is the moment a penguin tries on a pair of life-changing booties that will put the spring back in his step for good.
Lucas is a penguin at the San Diego Zoo in California who suffers from bumblefoot, a degenerative condition that takes the form of a bacterial infection found on the feet of birds as well as rabbits and rodents. The chronic condition causes painful sores and swelling and can result in infection and death if left untreated, which left Lucas feeling lonely as other members of the African penguin colony at the zoo did not want to spend time with him.
