A penguin at Kentucky’s Newport Aquarium is capturing hearts online after a viral TikTok video showcased her adorable display of affection for her partner. The penguin, named Green Bean, was seen bringing a toy ball to her nesting partner, Randi. When the ball rolled away, she quickly chased after it, determined to add it to their nest.
The video, set to Chappell Roan’s song The Giver, sparked joy among viewers. The TikToker captioned it, “We have never been more thankful for a penguin than we were for Green Bean.” One commenter joked, “It’s against nature!!” before adding, “Meanwhile, nature:” Another claimed to be an aquarium employee and confirmed, “They are very much in love.” Green Bean isn’t new to fame—she previously appeared on local news and even displayed her artwork in 2017. Now, she’s melting hearts as the internet’s favorite sapphic penguin.
