With its characteristic yellow plumes above its eyes, the macaroni penguin is one of the most recognizable penguins. It is mainly found in the southern hemisphere, on subantarctic islands and rocky coasts.
Surprisingly, despite its small size compared to other penguin species, the macaroni penguin is an excellent swimmer. It can dive more than 100 meters to catch fish, crustaceans, and squid. During the breeding season, it forms huge, noisy colonies, where faithful pairs find each other through their distinctive calls. Its golden plumes, which give it a "crested" appearance, distinguish it from all other penguins.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the macaroni penguin: contrasting plumage, yellow crest, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a marine animal collection, invent polar stories, or educate children about the amazing diversity of penguins.
