Story From Nationalgeographic.com
"Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, October 7, 2008--Nearly 400 juvenile penguins march toward the sea in the final leg of a human-assisted journey home after becoming stranded in equatorial waters.
Magellanic penguins breed in southern Argentina and Chile and follow prey north from March to September. Usually this leads to southern Brazil, but this year hundreds followed a current further north.
Rescuers flew them south on a military plane, where they were released to the ocean to complete the return journey. "
