An abandoned penguin chick has been fooled into thinking a rubber glove is its mother by zoo keepers at Living Coasts in Torquay, Devon.
They wanted to hand raise the chick but didn't want it to get used to humans - hence a black rubber-glove puppet with red eyes and yellow plume to make the chick think it's being fed by a macaroni penguin adult.
Hasta la pasta, baby!
