Who doesn't love penguins?

Penguin swims 5,000 miles every year for reunion with the man who saved his life
Allison Lynch / Metro UK / 9 March 2016



Today’s most heartwarming story is brought to you from a beach in Brazil.

It’s the story of a South American Magellanic penguin who swims 5,000 miles each year to be reunited with the man who saved his life.

Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the tiny penguin, covered in oil and close to death, lying on rocks on his local beach in 2011.

Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to build his strength. He named him Dindim.

Very interesting behaviour. I did not know that gulls stamp their feet rapidly upon the ground to bring worms to the surface.

Boy, that mink sure was persistent. I felt sorry for the seagull. :(
