Ok this guy looks rough. All the other penguins were their usual good looking selves. This one is nearly naked. Any idea whats going on with this one?

I have no clue what is wrong with this one. I rarely visit the penguins, but I'll try to find out during future visits.
 
Penguins go through a Catastrophic molt each year when they lose all of their feathers at one time. I found out about it from a keeper talk at the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies.
 
I would have thought all of them would do it at the same time, not just one. The others all look fine and looked just fine on my previous visits. I do know they molt each year but I just assumed they would all do it at roughly the same time.
