Adorable Penguins Waddle Around Empty Streets Of Simon’s Town Freely During Coronavirus Lockdown
The coronavirus pandemic has left almost everyone in the world inside their houses, but when it comes to animals things are a little different.
All over the world animals are having a time of their lives.
With no people around them, animals have started to claim what many people thought was theirs.
In Cape Town, something similar to that has happened.
The African Penguin Colony, which is located on Boulders Beach, draws thousands of people from all around the world, but due to the pandemic, no one is there.
With freedom comes more freedom, and that’s what penguins are doing.
In a video that went viral recently, penguins could be seen waddling around Simon’s Town, and the video is just adorable.
#Lockdown has its perks for #Africanpenguins in Simon’s Town. This is one of the reasons why our Penguin Rangers have their hands full but waddling down the street is enjoyable & safer for the birds these days, clearly!#AdoptAnEgg at https://bit.ly/3csbrtQ and get connected to the very heart of saving this #endangeredspecies.Video credit: @MikaelaSlierKeeping our seabirds safe with #CityofCT SANParks – Table Mountain National Park and Cape Town Environmental Education Trust – CTEET
