"The San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park welcome more than 5.5 million visitors each year, when that number suddenly drops to near zero with only our wildlife care specialists on-site, the animals at both facilities noticed that there had been a change" Rick Schwartz, ambassador for San Diego Zoo Global, told PEOPLE.
"The penguin team decided to offer an additional training session with the orangutans to celebrate World Penguin Day and raise awareness for these warm-weather birds," Schwartz added about the meeting.
Animal lovers might not be able to visit the San Diego Zoo in person, but they can still pop in to see some of their favorite creatures.
