October 21, 2013 — We don't know how else to put it: you aren't ever likely to get a more charming look inside a penguin's brain than this.
Fluffy is an African black-footed penguin who was having a hard time doing normal penguin things, like "balancing, standing and waddling around," according to a media release put out by the University of Minnesota, which received the 18-year-old bird in late July.
After conducting a battery of inconclusive tests, veterinarians decided to give Fluffy a brain scan — the first penguin MRI that vet Micky Trent had ever come across. "So this was a first," Trent says in this video — which, happy spoiler, ends with the adorable Fluffy receiving antibiotics, regaining his balance, and going off to eat more fish with his buddy named BJ. In the middle, which is also exciting, you'll get to see an image of the penguin's brain.
