The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, an organization that saves seabirds in South Africa, shared a video of penguins taking to the streets of Simon's Town.
Three penguins filmed by the conservation group had the sidewalk to themselves for a Friday waddle.
Marching nearly in sync, the flightless birds appeared to be patrolling the streets of the seaside town.
The birds marched on without a pedestrian or car in sight during the video, which garnered more than 1 million views.
SANCOOB called the penguins' newfound freedom one of the "perks" of people around the globe sheltering-in-place to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
"This is one of the reasons why our Penguin Rangers have their hands full but waddling down the street is enjoyable & safer for the birds these days," the group wrote on Facebook in the video caption.
The rebel penguins are the latest members of the wild kingdom to figure out they now have free reign of the human world as people have left high-traffic areas to stay home and practice social distancing.
