美國的新冠肺炎疫情越來越嚴重，為了防止病毒迅速擴散，當地伊利諾州限制民眾舉辦、參與50人以上的集會，其中，芝加哥市的諸多博物館、水族館都直接閉館不營業，一間名為Shedd Aquarium的水族館，也乖乖地跟上政府的政策。
但，為了讓大眾持續關注館內裡的明星動物：可愛的企鵝，近日，Shedd Aquarium在臉書上公開一部「企鵝們在館內蹦蹦跳跳」的歡樂畫面。
只見畫面中，三隻雄性企鵝跟在飼育員的後頭，搖搖擺擺地走著，牠們跟著飼育員經過一個個不同主題的展區，也走過平時充滿遊客、但如今空曠無人的接待區，看起來充滿好奇心，也相當可愛！
The adventure continues! This morning, Edward and Annie explored the rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Every spring is nesting season for the penguins here at Shedd, and this year is no different! Next week, penguins, including Edward and Annie, will begin to build their nests. You’re invited to digitally join us for the nesting coverage! In the meantime, we will share a variety of animal activities, and yes, Wellington will return! While this may be a strange time for us, these days are relatively normal for the penguins and other animals at Shedd. Our caregivers are constantly providing new activities, experiences, food and more to allow the animals to express natural behaviors—even if that includes simply exploring. Let us know what penguin activities you want to see!

飼育員上傳影片和網友分享後，還幽默地打上「企鵝探險紀錄片」這句話。
館方發言人表示，「芝加哥雪德水族館或許不對外開放，但照護員和獸醫仍全天候待命。」而這支影片，目前已累積超過六萬按讚數，網友們紛紛表示，「實在太可愛了！」、「沒有人類的干擾，牠們感覺更開心了呢！」、「走路的模樣好可愛。」
