Penguins have had many exciting escapades this year, from visiting aquariums to having a field trip at a museum. Now, two penguins from Oregon Zoo, Nacho and Goat, are out to explore a forest. A video of the penguins out for a hike has grabbed the attention of netizens.
The very small video clip begins with the Nacho and Goat walking around in a forest-like area. As the video progresses, the penguins can be seen enjoying and exploring the place. Both of them can also be seen battling over a dry leave. Towards the end, they can be spotted at an aquarium, observing the seals. The caption of the video read, “Getting some fresh air with Nacho and Goat”.
Netizens show love for penguins
Uploaded on November 5, the video has managed to gather almost 14K likes. Netizens bombarded the comment section after watching the adorable video. One Instagram user wrote, "This was SO needed today! Thank you!". Another person wrote, "do you think we could ask to hike around with the penguins toooooo?" (sic).
In a separate incident, a few days ago two penguins from Shedd Aquarium, Izzy and Darwin, had explored the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Video of the bonded pair which was put online has gone viral with netizens flooding the aquarium's Twitter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most public places and tourist attractions like museums, zoo’s and aquariums have remained closed and while some have begun reopening, attendance is still low. This absence of visitors is what has afforded these penguins the opportunity to explore the museum. In a similar incident, last month the Shedd Museum had organised a trip for two penguins to visist the Shedd Aquarium gift shop. The video similar to the one showing penguins Museum of Contemporary Art also garnered lots of love from netizens.
