Dressed in his very own penguin suit — a black tux and white shirt — Canadian comedian and CBC host Rick Mercer waddled with the penguins at the Calgary Zoo.

Mercer got to meet king penguins Arthur, Asa, Ceasar, Diana, Grace, Hera, Solomon and Tut, who are walked every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 a.m.

The penguins not only get some exercise, but fundraise for what the zoo is calling "the cutest charity walk on the planet."

Funds raised will go towards penguin conservation through the zoo’s conservation outreach program.

The Calgary Zoo has been told the episode featuring the Penguin Walk will air on The Rick Mercer Report on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

The Penguin Walk runs at the zoo until late February or early March.
