One-year-old Lucky, a penguin at the Santa Barbara Zoo, had one leg that wasn't growing right. Zookeepers became aware of the problem when they noticed Lucky walking with a limp.
They tried a splint at first, but the temporary fix prevented a pretty important aspect of any penguin's life. "That meant he couldn't learn to swim," said Zookeeper Rachel Miller. "He couldn't be a normal penguin." The problem affected his chances for survival.
