An adorable video shows a group of penguins being weighed for a health check at a zoo and having a blast, with the scene branded a "dream job" by animal lovers.
In the footage, a keeper at Saint Louis Zoo in Missouri, US, calls over to a penguin who eagerly waddles over and plonks himself down on the scales when she points to it.
"Good boy, good boy!" she coos at him.
At this, the penguin opens his beak wide and lets out a huge honk, similar to the noise of the donkey.
Dozens of other penguins then dash into view, trying to clamber onto scales and eager to have their turn.
The zoo shared the cute clip again after noting the Twitter post was its "most popular one of all time" after first being uploaded in April 2020.
It added: "The world was truly captivated by our penguin friends' excitement for being weighed, especially when we humans dreaded it."
After watching the clip on Twitter, one person enthused: "I so want to weigh penguins for a living."
Another person tagged a pal, asking: "With enough of them walking around, think we could each sneak one into our coat and take it home without being caught?"
"Where can I sign up? Can you imagine doing this? They want cuddles," gushed another animal lover.
Another person wrote: "I would love this as a job."
"Can we start our own business weighing all the animals?!" a fan said, tagging their pal.
