Move over, influencers—Nanjing’s cutest winter stars just stole the spotlight! Two gentoo penguins named Pingping and An’an from Nanjing Underwater World traded their aquarium home for a frosty field trip to the 600-year-old Nanjing City Wall this week. Waddling through fresh snowfall like tiny tuxedo-clad tourists, the duo explored the Ming Dynasty relic under their keepers’ supervision, proving even penguins need a 'cool' day out!
Why it’s awesome: While gentoo penguins typically live in colder climates, these aquatic ambassadors seemed right at home in east China’s winter wonderland. Their adventure highlights Nanjing’s blend of history and modern wildlife conservation—plus, who wouldn’t want to see penguins navigating ancient stone pathways?
Local love: A keeper shared with NewspaperAmigo.com: 'They’ve been curious about snow through their habitat windows. This outing was like their version of a school field trip—just with more fish snacks!' The penguins’ escapade has gone viral locally, with residents joking about needing 'penguin-sized scarves' for next winter.
History meets wildlife: Built during the Hongwu Emperor’s reign, the Nanjing City Wall now adds 'penguin playground' to its résumé. Talk about bridging timelines—these birds just gave new meaning to walking through history!
