With the Vancouver Aquarium closed to the public while the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, some of its residents are taking advantage of the aquarium’s empty hallways.
Namely, the penguins.
On March 25, the Aquarium posted an adorable video to its social media accounts that features a group of curious African Penguins obviously enamored by the sight of a few swimming sea lions.
“One silver lining of the closure is that some of our animals and their dedicated care staff are getting extra time to explore our galleries together,” explained the Aquarium in the post.
“We've really missed exploring our oceans with you and are continuing to look for ways to stay connected during this unprecedented period.”
The Vancouver Aquarium’s post follows in the footsteps of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, which shared footage of its penguins “on a field trip” earlier this month.
When the Vancouver Aquarium’s penguins aren’t out exploring, animal-lovers can check in on the birds through the Aquarium’s live cams. In the unlikely event you get tired of watching them waddle about, the non-profit facility also has livestreams of its jellyfish and sea otters available for viewing.
