水族館因疫情關(guān)閉，小企鵝變身“游客”到處參觀

When the people are away, the penguins will play.

當(dāng)人類離得遠(yuǎn)了，企鵝就可以撒歡了。

Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, decided to close its doors last week due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that doesn t mean the animals have to self-quarantine.

上周，芝加哥謝德水族館因疫情閉館，但這不意味著館里的動物們也需要自我隔離。

Instead, staff are using the empty aquarium as an opportunity to provide enrichment to the animals in new ways - including penguin tours.

員工們利用閉館為動物們提供了一次新的充實自己的機(jī)會，其中就包括企鵝漫游。

The penguins have been free to wander the aquarium over the last few days, checking out everything from dolphins to stingrays.

過去幾天，一群企鵝被放出來自由活動，它們到各處“視察”，參觀了海豚和黃貂魚等各位“鄰居”。

飼養(yǎng)員表示，希望通過這一新方式鼓勵它們探索、解決問題和表達(dá)自然行為。

"Without guests in the building, caretakers are getting creative in how they provide enrichment to animals - introducing new experiences, activities, foods, and more to keep them active, encourage them to explore, problem-solve, and express natural behaviours."

“館里沒有游客，飼養(yǎng)員們就以這種創(chuàng)新的方式豐富動物們的生活——提供新的體驗、活動和食物，保持它們的活力，鼓勵它們探索、解決問題和表達(dá)自然行為。”

Wellington, a rockhopper penguin, got to explore the aquarium s "Amazon Rising" section on Sunday and was clearly fascinated by the fish.

周日，一只名為惠靈頓的跳巖企鵝來到了水族館的亞馬遜魚類展區(qū)，很明顯被這些魚迷住了。

Edward and Annie, a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins who are together for the nesting season, went on a tour of the aquarium s rotunda.

愛德華和安妮是這群跳巖企鵝中的一對伴侶，它們來到大廳參觀。

They even checked out the information desk.

甚至還“視察”了服務(wù)臺。

Edward and Annie will begin building their nests next week, and Shedd Aquarium will be offering digital nesting coverage so that animal lovers can follow along.

愛德華和安妮下周將會共筑愛巢，謝徳水族館將提供數(shù)字化展示，以供其他動物情侶觀摩。

Shedd s zookeepers told Insider that, even during this time of uncertainty, it is important to keep things as normal as possible for the animals.

謝徳水族館的飼養(yǎng)員告訴Insider網(wǎng)站，盡管目前情況不明，但盡可能保證動物們的正常生活是非常重要的。

視頻在網(wǎng)站上被公布后，迅速獲得了超過160萬點擊量，網(wǎng)友紛紛表示，目前疫情發(fā)展令人焦慮緊張，小企鵝們的視頻帶給他們難得的輕松情緒。
