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.
