It’s trying times for us human folk, staying at home for the foreseeable is getting pretty daunting pretty quickly. But, for the other inhabitants of the planet, it’s looking kind of great. Since the lockdown in Venice, reports are showing the wildlife is returning to the waters which are now clear from a lack of human disruption.

And, there are some other little guys and girls such as the residents of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, things have also been looking up. The aquarium posted a series of tweets in which penguins at the aquarium have been enjoying roaming freely around the place, now that no visitors can enter. They posted saying: “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.”

Bonded pair Annie and Edward also took advantage of the quiet space by taking a little romantic stroll

They then continued their date throughout the aquarium

“Without guests in the building, caretakers are getting creative in how they provide enrichment to animals,” the aquarium told the Chicago Tribune. “Introducing new experiences, activities, foods and more to keep them active, encourage them to explore, problem-solve and express natural behaviors.”

Looks like the world is still a bright place, folks!
