Wholesale Cape Penguin Figurine

Native to the coasts of South Africa and Namibia, the African penguin is a marine bird as endearing as it is recognizable. It is sometimes called the "pink-eyed penguin" due to the pinkish patches above its eyes, which help it regulate its body temperature. A surprising fact: unlike the emperor penguin that lives in Antarctica, the African penguin nests in temperate and sunny regions. Excellent swimmers, these penguins can dive over 100 meters to catch fish and squid. They also communicate through astonishing vocalizations that resemble the braying of a donkey, earning them the nickname "jackass penguin." This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the African penguin: contrasting black and white plumage, realistic details, and a careful posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories on African coasts, or raise children's awareness about the protection of this now endangered species.
