As people all over the world are facing community quarantine, zoos and aquariums are also doing the same so they could prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
Wellington, a 30-year-old rockhopper penguin, took advantage of this outbreak and was seen exploring the aquarium on feet.
The video of the hilarious incident was posted on Sunday this week by the Shedd Aquarium of Chicago.
With the aquarium being closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, Wellington was given the opportunity to visit parts of the building usually denied to a penguin.
Experts said wild rockhopper penguins live amongst the craggy windswept shorelines of the islands of North Antarctica, Chile, and New Zealand.
In the video, you can see the reaction of Wellington after seeing some fish.
Rockhoppers are named for their amazing method of transportation on land.
Rather than sliding about on their bellies, rockhoppers perform a double footed hop from rock to rock.
The penguins’ affinity for rocks even extends to their nests, which rockhoppers create from a circle of stones to stop their eggs from rolling away.
Following the success of Wellington’s ramble, 2 other rockhoppers managed to get away from their enclosure and do what Wellington did.
Annie and Edward, the 2 rockhoppers, reportedly explored the rotunda of the aquarium with one video showing that he pair meandering about in front of an information desk.
After the runaway, the Shedd Aquarium said they will be sharing more animal updates in the coming days.
