Emperor Penguin molting.
A penguin's molt is sometimes called a catastrophic molt, because unlike most birds that will molt a few feathers at a time, penguins molt all of their feathers all at once. And if you look at some of these pictures you can see that catastrophic is a good description, they often look like exploding pillows.
