COVID-19在全球急速升溫，各個國家紛紛採取措施，很多娛樂設施和公共場所也暫時關閉。美國芝加哥的謝得水族館（Shedd Aquarium）是非常有名的旅遊景點，每年都會吸引來自世界各地的遊客前來參觀。現在水族館也宣布閉館直到3月29日。不過水族館內並不冷清，還有一群特別的遊客。
▼水族館趁這個機會給館內的人氣動物「跳岩企鵝」放假，讓牠們在園區內自由探索。呆萌的企鵝們搖搖晃晃參觀水族館、跟其他動物見面的場景在網路上熱傳。
▼水族館在官方推特上分享了其中一隻企鵝Wellington探索園區的影片。只見Wellington來到其他園區，跟黑紋銀板魚對視。牠以前從來沒見過這種魚類，所以非常好奇。那天真可愛的模樣很療癒。
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

▼後來水族館又分享了企鵝情侶Edward和Annie一起在園區內約會的影片，並介紹說：「這是一對跳岩企鵝情侶，很快就要開始築巢了。春季是謝得水族館的企鵝們築巢的季節，今年也是如此。」
Penguins like Edward and Annie will begin to build their nests next week. Join us digitally for nesting coverage! In the meantime, we will be sharing lots of different animal updates (and yes, Wellington will return!) 🐧👀 (2/3) pic.twitter.com/eCYKOwdOMz

▼這些企鵝參觀水族館的影片太受歡迎，館方表示在重新開幕之前他們會分享更多類似的可愛影片，萌萌的Wellington也會再次跟大家見面。
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

▼除了謝得水族館，其他動物園也趁這個機會給動物們增添樂趣。比如奧勒岡動物園就帶著新生的小象在園區內散步。小象看到海狗後開心露出笑容，讓人覺得很暖心。

目前狀況非常嚴峻，這麼可愛的畫面能夠療癒人心。現在大家就透過網路看看萌萌的動物，等高峰期過去再到現場跟牠們見面吧。
