This Aquarium Allows Its Penguins To Take A “Field Trip” After It Closes

To combat the spread of COVID-19, several establishments throughout the world are barring their doors to visitors. The Chicago-based Shedd Aquarium is no exception. To safeguard the community, the aquarium, which attracts roughly 2 million visitors each year, has been closed for two weeks. The aquarium, on the other hand, is far from empty, since human visitors have just been replaced with… penguins. These water birds were probably discharged for the first time to stretch their legs and investigate the premises.

Many places that are closed to visitors are using social media to try to interact with people. Shedd Aquarium is doing just that, and their efforts are commendable.

The beautiful penguins traveling the Amazon and meeting fish and other wildlife were a huge hit with the crowds. On Twitter, the films received over 100,000 likes, and the aquarium promised additional updates.

“While this may be an unusual moment for humans, the animals at Shedd seem to be doing OK. The aquarium added, “Our caretakers are always giving new opportunities for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviors with.”

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot stated last Friday that all public gatherings of 1,000 or more individuals will be prohibited. As a result, several venues and institutions were forced to close in order to stop the spread of COVID-19.
