Lucas is a 4-year-old African penguin who was born with a degenerative foot condition known as "bumblefoot."
And while it sounds as cute as this penguin looks-- it can be serious and lead to death.
Now Lucas has new orthopedic boots to help with his foot condition.
His custom shoes prevent sores from developing when he walks-- so he can have happy feet once again.
