After giant waves, five penguins appear dead on the edge of the river

After giant waves, five penguins appear dead on the edge of the river

Teams from the Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb) remain working on the removal of the sand that hit the clues of Avenida Delfim Moreira, in Leblon, south of Rio de Janeiro, invaded on Tuesday (29) by sea force. The hangover that hit the state coast is reflex of an extratropical cyclone. After giant waves, five penguins appear dead on the edge of the river

According to the Navy, the forecast is that the waves with height between 2.5 and 3.5 meters begin to lose strength on Thursday (31) at night.

This Wednesday, during the cleaning of the waterfront, the Comlurb street veins found five dead penguins in the sand: two at Arpoador Beach, in Ipanema, and another three in Barra da Tijuca, in the West Zone. The Laboratory of Aquatic Mammals and Bioindicators of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) was called to collect material for analysis.

At this time of year, the penguins cross the narrow of Magalhães, Antarctica, and migrate to Rio de Janeiro.

The Delfim Moreira Avenue, on the edge of Leblon Beach, remains closed in both directions, for full cleaning of the tracks. The force of seawater was so strong that it even invaded garages and flowerbeds of high purchasing buildings. Leblon is the neighborhood with the most expensive square meter in Rio and the waterfront apartments have a value of over R $ 10 million.

For safety measure, traders returned to keep the leblon beach kiosks closed.
