The African Penguin is recognizable with its white belly studded with small spots, a real fingerprint. PAPO has recreated a short, stiff & black plumage on the back of the figurine & even the pinkish glands located above the eyes to regulate its body temperature. Endowed with thick webbed feet, the " Black-footed Penguin" is incapable of flying: its wings cut in "scythe" are used to propel itself underwater. Little anecdote: Reputed noisy, some compare its braying to the cry of a donkey.. .
