How Flop the penguin learned to walk

Keepers at Dudley Zoo have helped save a baby penguin and taught her how to walk.

Flop's mother died when she was just a few days old, then she lost the strength to hold herself up - which meant she could not eat.

Getting help from a baby bouncer sling and advice from a Toronto zoo, keepers at Dudley Zoo said they have got Flop back on her feet.

"Our very special penguin has found her waddle and we can’t wait to watch how she adapts to any challenges that come her way in the future," a Dudley Zoo spokesperson said.
