The bodies of 70 migrating Magellanic penguins were found washed up on a Brazilian shoreline after apparently getting tangled in fishing nets. One penguin survived the horrific incident and was taken to a nearby rehabilitation center.
R3 Animal Association, a group responsible for monitoring Santos Basin beaches for dead or maimed animals, discovered and retrieved the bodies on June 27. The penguins had washed up on neighboring Santinho and Mocambique beaches near the city of Florianopolis, according to a statement on social media the next day.
