Description
Native to the coasts of South Africa and Namibia, the African penguin is a seabird as endearing as it is recognizable. It is sometimes called the “pink-eyed penguin” because of the pinkish spots above its eyes, which help it regulate its body temperature.
Surprisingly, unlike the emperor penguin, which lives in Antarctica, the African penguin nests in temperate, sunny regions. These penguins are excellent swimmers and can dive to depths of over 100 meters to catch fish and squid. They also communicate with surprising vocalizations that resemble the braying of a donkey, earning them the nickname “donkey penguin.”
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the African penguin: contrasting black and white plumage, realistic details and careful posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories about the African coasts or raise children’s awareness of the protection of this now endangered species.
