Some very lucky penguins are getting a military escort back home. The Brazilian air force and navy are teaming up to take the birds back to their Antarctic home after they got stuck on a beach in Brazil. Every year, penguins typically wash up on Brazil's shores after they catch a ride from the Antarctic Circle on ice floes. The floes melt off the Brazilian shore and the penguins wash ashore. Most are taken to area zoos.

Penguins stranded on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro are getting help from Brazil's air force and navy. The flightless birds will hop a ride on a plane carrying equipment from an Antarctic naval base to the south of Brazil. They will then go on board a naval ship that will release them into the ocean, near their Antarctic home.

A Brazilian military spokesman says the National Navy and Air Force will transport at least 100 stranded penguins to Antarctica next month. The birds were found on Brazil's Rio de Janeiro beaches. Every year, penguins arrive from the Antarctic Circle on the Brazilian beaches. They are transported on ice blocks that melt off the shore of Brazil.
