The Penguin Post has learned that Dippy the Humboldt Penguin at the Aquarium on the Isles of Wight has come up slightly lame with sores on each foot, and although he won’t need surgery he must wear special shoes for the time being. Recent X-Rays show no sign of permanent damage, but Dippy needs to be kept out of the water and away from the other penguins for a few days to allow his feet to heal while wearing his fab shoes.
