The videos of the animals' adventures usually accumulate thousands of views on social networks, and even go viral. But there are images that have an extra component that touches Internet users, such as the bond that is created between humans and animals.
The relationship that is established between the two is very strong, whether at a domestic or work level. And in shelters, reserves, shelters, zoos or aquariums you can see signs of affection between most animals and their human companions.
An example is Ayrton King. He is an aquarist and animal keeper at Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa, whose relationship with penguins is beyond excellent. In some images that the same caregiver shared with @Yoda4ever, the user of
Ayrton is kneeling on the ground waiting for his penguin friend, who runs to him to give him a hug. This small specimen of the southern yellow tuft demands his attention as he runs towards him and, after being hugged, another little friend appears who is also waiting for a show of attention from his human companion.
The most relevant fact about these tender images is that these penguins are a species that, as indicated by Oceanwide Expeditions, "can become quite aggressive among themselves, fighting over nests, mating rights and food. When they fight, they slap each other with their fins. It is clear that, in this case, Ayrton's care brings out the most tender part of these penguins who run for hugs.
The video accumulates more than 300 comments, among which there are more videos of penguins. In fact, one Internet user pointed out that "they are hug magnets," and accompanied it with some images of a group of these animals running towards their human companion who gave them these displays of affection.
Most of the Internet users who have reacted to the images have highlighted that it is adorable, showing that these tender moments are the most liked on social networks.
