'Enjoying their very own snow day': Aquarium lets penguins out to play in the fresh snow, and the internet swoons over their adorable, freedom-fueled adventures

In intensely cold weather like this, when pretty much everyone seems to kind of suffer, a story like today's is nice to come across. Lately, everything that we have been seeing are cats getting trapped in the cold and half-frozen dogs being found everywhere and having to be rescued. We are done with that. We don't want that anymore. And yes, while it is true that most cats and dogs are not the biggest fans of the cold weather, some animals love snow and cold and winter, and one of these animals is the penguin.

So really, we understand why this story hit so hard for so many people. We get why this, so far, is the biggest, most viral animal story on X from 2025. Because we needed this, we think, as a people. We needed to see some adorable, clumsy, precious penguins come out of their aquarium cages and experience the fresh and free snow for the first time in god knows how long. We didn't know we needed this, but we are so happy that we saw it.

Now, this… this is what every place should do for its snow-loving animals every time that it snows. If the weather is so difficult already, and we can't find much joy in it, then we may as well let the ones who can find joy in it actually receive it.

The fact that these penguins are so cute is really just a bonus for us. We would have supported every snow-loving animal to come out during this day. But there is something about watching these wobbly, adorable creatures walk around in this freshly-fallen snow that is just- painfully adorable.
