Yesterday, on January 20, 2026, two charismatic penguins – Pingping and An’an – from Nanjing Underwater World on the Chinese mainland swapped their aquarium pool for a snowy playground at the historic Zhonghua Gate of the Nanjing City Wall.
Nanjing’s first snowfall of the season created the perfect winter wonderland. The keepers accompanied the tuxedoed duo as they waddled, slid, and frolicked among snow-covered stones, leaving both locals and visitors smiling. ❄️🐧
“They absolutely loved the snow,” one keeper shared. “Their playful energy was contagious!”
After their snowy adventure, Pingping and An’an returned to their cozy habitat, ready to relax and recharge. This outing highlights the creative enrichment efforts at Nanjing Underwater World, blending animal welfare with playful experiences. 🌨️❤️
