Popsugar Pets Instagram Wellington the Penguin's Instagram Videos PSA: Watching This Penguin Explore an Empty Aquarium Is an Act of Self-Care 22 April 2020 by Lisa Robinson View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) on Mar 30, 2020 at 4:44pm PDT While the Shedd Aquarium remains closed to human visitors, one of its resident penguins is using his free time to better acquaint himself with his neighbours. Aquarium staff have been dutifully documenting as a rockhopper penguin named Wellington ventures out of his exhibit to meet new friends. With his striking brows and delightful head tilt, Wellington has captured the attention of bored souls scrolling mindlessly through Instagram everywhere (read: me), charming the tails off of beluga whales and angelfish in the process. Ahead, follow along with Wellington and his penguin pals as they explore their surroundings and waddle their way straight into our weary, social-distancing hearts.
