水族館沒遊客…小企鵝太閒「乾脆自己逛」　隔著玻璃窗跟同事見面：出門溜躂囉～

因為肺炎疫情的影響，芝加哥人氣超高的雪德水族館（Shedd Aquarium）宣布閉館至3月底。

見不到遊客的企鵝們太寂寞，保育員就讓牠們轉換角色，離開自己的展示空間，讓他們「自己當遊客」逛水族館，跟其他的「同事們」見面～

▼3月15日，雪德水族館在推特po出企鵝「Wellington」觀賞亞馬遜水域的魚群的影片。

牠似乎對粗線銀板魚很感興趣，不時拍拍翅膀，看起來很興奮。

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.

▼另外兩隻企鵝，「Edward」和「Annie」是一對小夫妻，牠們也來參觀自己工作的水族館啦～

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) 👇

▼雪德水族館表示，現在沒有訪客，保育員就讓企鵝們在館內自由探索，給牠們的生活增添樂趣。

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)

▼保育員還會準備食物、全新的活動，鼓勵動物們保持活力，展現出自然的行為。

While this may be a strange time for us, these days feel normal for animals at Shedd. Our caregivers are constantly providing new experiences for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviors with. Let us know what penguin activities you would like to see! (3/3)

疫情升溫讓人感到非常沈重，但雪德水族館的這些小企鵝們卻能夠帶來滿滿的療癒與快樂。

牠們搖搖晃晃在館內漫步的樣子太勾錐，大家的心都要融化啦～
