The emperor penguin is an extraordinary bird! Did you know that it can survive in temperatures below -50°C?
It lives between the sea and the edge of the Antarctic continent in an extremely hostile environment dominated by icy winds and temperatures which it alone can tolerate. Although the penguin is unable to fly, it is an accomplished diver whose streamlined body is well adapted to swimming. It spends most of its time in the icy water looking for food and can dive to great depths (down to more than 500 metres). The emperor penguins live in colonies which can include thousands of birds. Each year they breed on the ice floe and lay a single egg during May, which the male places on the top of its feet while the female goes back in the water to feed. The transfer of the egg to the male’s feet is a very delicate operation as any contact with the snow and ice would be fatal for the egg. To stay warm, the males group together, huddling together and changing their position between the centre and the outside (this is what is referred to as a “turtle formation)Set out on an underwater expedition with the Emperor Penguin figurine from Papo. It will delight both young and old with its realism and high level of detail.
Papo figurines are hand-painted and designed to provide children with a fantastic support for play and imagination. Accuracy in posture, respect for morphology, faithful reproduction of the animal's main characteristics, nothing is left to chance.Age: From 3 years old

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.
