with some variation, the
dolphins in rio de janeiro
are of a single specie, the typical short-beaked mammal called
delphinus delphis -
they populate the waters spanning fro rio de janeiro to uruguay.
once in a while, even penguins make their way on rio's
beaches, as they get caught in the wrong currents and lose their way.
welcomed with much cheering and attention by all cariocas, penguins
do make headlines, get cared for, fed, and flown back to antarctica.
