The African Penguin is recognizable with its white belly studded with small spots, a real fingerprint. PAPO has recreated a short, stiff and black plumage on the back of the figurine and 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.

For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping younger and older children to develop 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, invent, innovate with a wide range of animals or characters. One constant factor which has not changed over the years is quality (the quality of the sculptures and of the materials used) which has always been our watchword and will remain so.
