March of the Penguins...to Brazil?

Did you watch the movie March of the Penguins? Did you adore that movie? Did you want a penguin of your own? I looked into it. Owning any single penguin as a pet in the United States is expensive and pretty darn inhumane. Well, it looks like if I were to move to coastal Brazil I could live in temperate paradise AND be visited by Magellanic penguins:

From his lifeguard post on Copacabana beach, Capt. Rodrigo Maia has watched dumbfounded as the little swimming footballs waddle to the sand amid bronzed surfers and bikini-clad women.

That quote is from this article, which reports that the little guys are washing up on Brazilian shores in growing numbers. The cause is unknown. Climate Change is always suspected, but the sudden surge in penguin visitors hints at a more immediate cause like ocean currents and hurricanes. Read the article, you'll see. Meantime, I'm going to go research time share opportunities for beach houses in Brazil.
