A video featuring Green Bean, a lesbian penguin at Newport Aquarium, has gone viral, providing a heartwarming counter to recent LGBTQ+ news. In the video, Green Bean shares a toy ball with her nesting partner, Randi, making it an amusing spectacle. The clip has garnered significant attention with nearly 300,000 likes and many enthusiastic comments. Viewers are also engaged with the backstory provided by original poster, Samm, who explains the penguins receive dummy eggs to simulate a nurturing experience. Additionally, the aquarium promotes mental stimulation through creative activities like painting, highlighting enrichment for the animals.
Green Bean waddles over and drops the ball where her partner is lying. Randi then takes it in her beak and begins playing with it.
They're given "dummy eggs" because this aquarium isn't a breeding facility, so they just get these cute little plaster eggs and they treat them like real ones.
Enrichment is about providing animals with stimulating and challenging environments, objects and activities. It aims to enhance their activity and provides mental stimulation for the penguins.
The video has had nearly 300,000 likes so far, and over 100 delighted comments from viewers. One of the top responses is a quote from "The Giver", simply stating: "She gets the job done."
