Surfer Rescues Penguin Stranded In Rocks Plucking It Out Of Waves In Bag

A surfer rescued a penguin stranded in rocks by plucking it out of the waves in a bag. Diego Santos was flying his drone over a beach in Guaruja, Brazil, on July 5 when he spotted one of the black and white birds floundering in the ocean. After watching the penguin struggle for 10 minutes, Diego grabbed his surfboard and went running into the Atlantic Ocean. Heartwarming footage shows the Good Samaritan running back out of the sea alongside a lifeguard with the bedraggled bird safely held in a bag.
