Did you know that emperor penguins, unlike most birds which breed in the spring, breed in the winter? Timing is everything - since emperor penguin chicks are born in the winter, by the time they are finally old enough to hunt for fish on their own, the relatively warm Antarctic summer has begun to break up the ice surrounding the nesting ground bringing the open water closer and making for a shorter trek to the sea.

Our majestic emperor penguin ornament is exquisitely detailed and lightly flocked to be soft to the touch. Stands 3.75" tall.
