Magellan penguin is a penguin inhabited mainly by Patagonia in the southern part of South America. Adult birds are known to be penguins that rarely land, because they basically move the ocean except in the breeding season of May to August and live a swimming distance of several thousand kilometers per year.

Former brick craftman Joao Pereira de Souza living in Grande island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro found a Magellan penguin that is likely to be starved to be hungry and crude in the beach near his house in 2011. Mr. Pereira de Souza named the penguin "Dindim" and fed him everyday until he had sufficient physical strength to return to Patagonia, the habitat.

However, Dindim seems to refuse to return, even if his strength recovers. It is very illegal to keep wild animals as pets in Brazil because it is very difficult for wild creatures to live in humans and live apart from the flocks. Therefore, Mr. Pereira de Souza boarded the ship and sent Dindim to the sea, urging him to return to his dweller.

However, when Mr. Pereira de Souza returned home, there was a figure of Dindim there waiting for Pereira de Souza's return. Then Dindim stayed at Mr. Pereira de Souza's home, but after a while I went back to the sea again. Mr. Pereira de Souza and the surrounding people thought that the end resulted in a friendship story between humans and penguins, but in the coming months it is said that Dindim came back to Mr. Pereira de Souza of Rio de Janeiro.

And when Rio de Janeiro University, who was interested in Dindim, released a movie about Mr. Pereira de Souza and Dindim on Facebook, it recorded a number of views of more than 6.7 million times and it became a big topic.

From Magellan penguin inhabited Patagonia to Rio de Janeiro there is a distance of at least 3000 km and Dindim is swimming a few thousand kilometers solely to meet Pereira de Souza. Magellan penguins come up to the warmer waters of Brazil, and it seems that Dindim swims from Rome to hers in Rio de Janeiro is far from impossible.

"Dindim came in June every year and will return to her dwelling in February of the following year I feel happy to see Dindim every year and I will be more affectionate with Dindim," Pereira de Souza says.

Dindim is not a particularly friendly penguin but Dindim is trying to get away from you other than Pereira de Souza, Dindim seems to be poking a person who is approaching or approaching. Biologist Joao Paulo Krajewski says "For Pereira de Souza, Penguin's Dindim is a family member and Dindim is thinking about the same, as Dindim looks at Pereira de Souza it looks like a dog I shake the tail to raise the voice of joy, the love between the two is really impressive.
