A heart-warming video of a group of penguins released into the wild after they lost way on their migratory journey has touched the internet. The 24-second clip, originally shared by a leading US media outlet, was posted by the Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda on his official Twitter handle. The video shows the penguins who were rescued in Argentina and then were released back on the beach of San Clemente after they were found stranded on the shores.
With over 1.9k views, the video has mesmerized the internet who can’t quite contain the happiness and excitement of the birds the minute they felt the waves of the sea. Fluttering their little fins, the penguins can be seen gently sprinting towards the water impatient to swim again. Several users on Twitter related to the scenario with being under lockdown.
Internet loves the excitement
Freedom to be able to live again, wrote a user appreciating the gesture of the animal rescue for putting them safely back in the water. “It's World Penguin Day! Their excitement on seeing the water is contagious. Perhaps humans can dream of walking into the streets in a similar fashion after the final lockdown,” wrote another user.
Similarly, a Shedd Aquarium in Chicago released some penguins for a field trip out of enclosures after it closed down to visitors due to the coronavirus pandemic. Sharing the adorable video of the three penguins excited to explore on their official account on Twitter, the aquarium wrote, “Without guests in the building, caretakers are getting creative in how they provide enrichment to animals.” It further added, “Introducing new experiences, activities, foods and more to keep them active, encourage them to explore, problem-solve and express natural behaviours.”
