Un acquario a Chicago ha chiuso al pubblico e ha aperto ai pinguini
Poi ha diffuso i video che li mostrano aggirarsi davanti alle vasche dei pesci e alla reception
Da domenica lo Shedd Aquarium di Chicago è chiuso al pubblico per limitare il contagio del coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), e ne ha approfittato per liberare i suoi pinguini dalle loro recinzioni e lasciarli vagare per la struttura. Ha poi diffuso su Twitter alcuni video dei pinguini che si aggirano davanti alle vasche con i pesci, nella reception e nei corridoi. L’acquario resterà chiuso almeno fino al 29 marzo, come stabilito domenica dal governatore dell’Illinois, J.B. Pritzker.
The adventure continues! 🐧🐧
This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3) 👇 pic.twitter.com/VdxN3oQAfe— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 16, 2020
While this may be a strange time for us, these days feel normal for animals at Shedd. Our caregivers are constantly providing new experiences for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviors with. Let us know what penguin activities you would like to see!

Penguins in the Amazon?! 🐧🌴
Some of the penguins went on a field trip to meet other animals at Shedd. Wellington seemed most interested in the fishes in Amazon Rising! The black-barred silver dollars also seemed interested in their unusual visitor. pic.twitter.com/KgYWsp5VQD
