The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing anywhere from 22–37 kg (48–82 lb). The dorsal parts are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine lifestyle.

Emperor Penguins survive in some of the world’s coldest temperatures in Antarctica. They are famous for traveling 75 miles each winter to find a mate. Once they do, a single egg is created and is first cared for by the male while the female finds food. Included with the collectible is a 5 language fact guide on Belugas that gives facts such as length, weight, habitat and other interesting facts about Emperor Penguins. They are resilient creatures and this figure is sure to be just as resilient as it is hand-painted and Phthalate-free! The Emperor Penguin with Baby is the perfect gift for any future biologist or anyone interested in penguins
