Bagpipes the Penguin Gets Happy Feet

'Bagpipes' the penguin has happy feet once again.
The little blue penguin had his left leg amputated after it became tangled in fishing line in 2007 and has hopped and wriggled his way around his new home at the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch ever since.
On Wednesday the imbalance was redressed. Bagpipes was fitted with a 3D-printed replacement foot to help him swim, stand and waddle like a penguin should.
