BIG Super Soft Penguin Stuffed Animal Plush Toy We think this stuffed emperor penguin toy is exceptional. It is so lifelike and compelling, you almost won't believe it is a stuffed toy and not the real thing. Although it is made of synthetic materials, it looks real. This wonderfully detailed emperor penguin stands 14 inches tall. The designer of this unique line of stuffed animals takes pride in the European heritage of his realistic animal designs. Each piece is hand-cut and stitched. It is not your ordinary stuffed animal. Our plush emperor penguin has the charm and quality you'll want to keep for a lifetime. It is the kind of toy your child will remember for years to come. It is the kind of "pet" a young child will want to name and create his or her own stories about. The literature says, "The magical kingdom of Hansa plush was originally created for the most exclusive European clientele. Europeans have treasured these lifelike heirloom creatures for over twenty years. . . . Each Hansa piece is a handcrafted masterpiece, lovingly designed from portraits of real animals. The 'skin' for each of these marvelous beasts is hand-cut and trimmed, never stamped out by machine. The fabric for spotted and striped animals is custom designed and specially manufactured in small lots to Hansa's exacting specifications."
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 from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head 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 habitat. |
