This is without a doubt some of the best news we've seen in the last few weeks. As the world begins to shutdown and people begin to distance themselves, penguins surprisingly enough are benefiting from the closures.
I mean, whoever thought about letting the penguins out of their exhibits should get the medal of honor.
oh my god, the chicago aquarium closed due to coronavirus, so they let the penguins run around and check out the other exhibits. (staff was present.) pic.twitter.com/YGa8CugymE

The Aquarium to let loose the penguins was the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago Illinois. The above video shows the cute little creatures being led around (with staff present) to observe the other exhibits.
