Recognizable by its black and white plumage and orange highlights near its neck, the emperor penguin is the largest of all penguins. Living in Antarctica, it is perfectly adapted to the extreme cold and wind conditions that prevail on the ice floes.
Surprisingly, this is the only bird to breed in the middle of the southern winter. While the female goes out to sea to feed, the male carefully guards the egg on his feet, protected by a fold of skin called a "brood pouch," and can go several weeks without eating. Excellent swimmers, emperor penguins dive to depths of more than 500 meters to capture fish, squid, and krill.
This Papo figurine realistically recreates the emperor penguin: contrasting plumage, slender silhouette and meticulous details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories about the ice floe or to educate children about the incredible adaptations of polar fauna.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
