‘Birds are modern, avian dinosaurs, and that includes penguins like Izzy and Darwin! They evolved from the theropod dinosaurs like the T. rex,’ the Shedd Aquarium said.
The two waddled through the empty museum, checked out its natural history exhibits and seemed quite content with the outing.
Watch them enjoy their tour:
Chicago has started to reopen tourism attractions, but visitors from out of state are required to quarantine for 14 days, according to Travel + Leisure.
