Penguin turns up on beach in Rio de Janeiro, alone and far from home
A sleek Magellanic penguin native to the far south of South America has been seen zipping through warm, shallow water off Rio de Janeiro — to the amusement of throngs of beachgoers.
Footage captured by a bystander shows the bird, alone and off course, swimming circles around people in swimsuits at Rio's Praia do Arpoador over the weekend, occasionally poking its head out of the water.
