#2 An Unexpected Story Of Friendship
In 2011, a 71-year-old widower found a penguin on a Brazilian beach, soaked in oil and struggling to survive. Joao Pereira de Souza picked up the dying bird, placed him in the shade, cleaned him and fed him sardines before bringing him back to the water. Joao expected the penguin to swim off, but amazingly, he refused to leave. Thus began the epic friendship between Joao and Jingjing the Magellanic penguin.
Jingjing typically leaves in February for the cooler climates 2,000 miles away - but he never fails to return to Joao's remote seaside shanty come June.Penguin experts say Jinjing's heart probably desires more than the free fish from Mr. de Souza.
Magellanic penguins like Jinjing are known for migrating thousands of miles between Patagonia breeding colonies and feeding grounds farther north. They typically mate in September, lay eggs, then rear chicks between December and February. See the cutest bird in action, go to the next page to watch the video.
