A baby penguin which had to be separated from its family after a greedy sibling continually ate all its food has found companionship - with this stuffed toy.

Lol - i was just struck by the fact that if he gets a little too attached, this penguin might grow up to te the first penguin furry.

Can you be a furry if you're already furry? Would he wear a penguin suit?
