A penguin in New Zealand has found an unusual way of keeping his flippers warm - wearing tiny blue shoes!
Elvis lives at the Antartic Centre in Christchurch, and he and 16 of his penguin pals have been given shoes to stop their flippers from hurting.
The penguins had to be rescued because they're weren't thought to be strong enough to survive on their own.
They need the special shoes because they spend more time wandering about on land than they do in the wild.
One expert admitted that the penguins can get a bit lazy when they get used to living in zoos.
The penguins learn that their food gets delivered to them and they don't have to hunt for themselves, so don't go swimming as often.
