Ralph lives at Morwell Wildlife Reserve in Winchester, England. After his handlers found out that his little feathers were coming out, they decided to fashion him with a wetsuit made from a leg.
If only hair plugs for men were that easy...
Helen Jeffreys, from Marwell Wildlife, said: "Ralph's really taken to his new suit, he's doing really well.
"He doesn't really seem to notice the difference - he's swimming around the enclosure with all the other penguins as usual.
"It's not inhibiting him in any way and it's not bothering him. He's just getting on with his daily business.
"All the other penguins, on the other hand, were intrigued by his new clothes they spent a good while checking him out.
"But when they realised it was still Ralph under the suit they seemed quite happy and don't really pay it any attention anymore."
