Because of a feather molting issue, he's got to stay out of the water but thankfully for Pierre, there's no limit on his screen time and he loves to binge watch anything related to penguins.
Every time a lobster or a cockroach is ready to size up, they have to molt, shedding their old skeleton and leaving them soft and vulnerable for days or weeks while they wait for a new outer shell to harden.
The perfect insect never grows bigger; but the little spiders grow so fast for a time that they have to throw off their leathery skins, and grow larger ones every few weeks.
And then after the snake sheds its skin, sometimes three, four, five times a year, it leaves one button behind, so you can't tell the snake's age by this.
Once caterpillars finish their second to last molt before chrysalisification, their bodies release a big dose of a growth hormone that tells 'em to stop eating and look for a good place to hang out, literally, for a few weeks.
