Stanley Cup days with players are nice, but Stanley Cup days with super cute animals are even better.

The Tampa Bay Lightning shared the championship trophy with a local aquarium, zoo, and animal shelter over the last week.

Here are the photos and videos.

Florida Aquarium

The Stanley Cup visited the Florida Aquarium and its underwater friends on November 3. In a video posted by the Keepers of the Cup, the Cup met a very curious dolphin and a penguin.

The 13-year-old African black-footed penguin, named Pebbles, took a “victory lap” around the trophy.

The Lightning quickly fell in love.

A sea turtle also swam over to say hi.

Tampa Bay Humane Society

Later in the day, Stanley visited the Tampa Bay Humane Society where several adorable puppies and kitties explored the cup… and its trophy case.

Oh my lawd. There are a lot of cute puppers at this place.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

A few days later, the Cup traveled to Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay where two young cheetahs got to explore the trophy and eat out of it.
