Amazon isn't the only company using animals to try and lift the spirits as the pandemic continues on. In March, two puppies got to explore the Georgia Aquarium while it was closed. The trip was posted on social media, and quickly went viral. Chicago's Shedd Aquarium also took advantage of the trend, allowing their penguins to roam around while the aquarium was closed. And with companies looking for ways to keep their Zoom meetings engaging, farms quickly began allowing people to book a video call with animals like llamas.
The 24-hour stream is now available on both Twitch and Youtube.
