嬰兒學步彈跳秋千如何幫助生病的企鵝寶寶學會走路

文字稿

Flop the Humboldt penguin hatched eight months ago, but she lost her ability to stand after an infection.

秘魯企鵝弗洛普（Flop）於八個月前孵化，但她在一次感染過後失去瞭站立的能力。

Zoo staff saved her life by making a special baby bouncer which was especially designed to keep Flop upright – particularly at feeding time.

動物園的工作人員借助一個嬰兒學步彈跳秋千拯救瞭她的生命，這個彈跳秋千經過特殊設計，可以幫助弗洛普保持直立，特別是在喂食的時候。

It took Flop about a month to build enough strength to rejoin the other young penguins in the colony.

弗洛普用瞭大約一個月的時間通過鍛煉恢復瞭足夠的體力，得以回到群落裡其它年輕企鵝的行列中去。

Jess Jones, Bird Keeper, Dudley Zoo
“For her to be unable to keep herself – her body – supported, it definitely could have been life threatening.”

傑斯·瓊斯達德利動物園鳥類飼養員
“對她來說，不能支撐自己的身體肯定會危及生命。”

The zoo tried anything and everything to help Flop the penguin back on her feet.

動物園嘗試瞭一切可能的方法來幫助企鵝弗洛普重新站起來。

Kriss Pearson, Senior Bird Keeper, Dudley Zoo
“We actually developed a little baby bouncer that would support her body weight with her feet just touching the floor, and we [were] able to feed her in this.”

克裡斯·皮爾森達德利動物園鳥類高級飼養員
“我們研制瞭一個小型的嬰兒學步彈跳秋千，它可以在弗洛普的腳剛好接觸到地面的情況下支撐她的身體重量，我們就可以讓她穿著彈跳秋千進食。”

Thanks to this, some penguin physiotherapy, and a lot of hard work from Flop and friends she is now able to stand again, and looking forward to living her best penguin life.

得利於這個彈跳秋千、針對企鵝康復的理療以及弗洛普自己和她朋友們的共同辛苦努力，弗洛普現在能夠重新站起來瞭，並對她未來精彩的企鵝生活充滿期待。
