A baby penguin chick was born at the Detroit Zoo last week, but here's the good part...

• Tux
• Puffy
• Winston
• Domino
• Fuzz

Wars is raging on in several parts of the world. But the Brazilian military is using their forces for good.

Every year, penguins in the the Antarctic get stranded on a portion of ice that breaks apart from the continent. And every year, some of those penguins end up on the coast of Brazil.

Where does the Brazilian military come into play? Their task is to return these penguins to the Antarctic every year. This is no small task either as it requires both air and naval forces.

So in the end the penguins get back home, but not before partying it up on the beaches of Brazil!

As we've seen in the past, some penguins are wild and some penguins like to rock.

The following video shows a penguin who's just plain evil:

...bathing to rocking music!

See the blackfooted penguins having a bath at ZSL London Zoo while the rockhopper penguins watch them.
