Did you know that the African penguin is the only penguin that breeds in Africa?  Since they live in warmer temperatures, the African penguins lack feathers on their legs because the need for warmth is not present.

Sphen, our stuffed african penguin from Aurora, is a beautiful recreation of this native African penguin.  Measuring 8 inches in height, the stuffed african penguin has a white belly with a white strap that runs under the beak and up to the eyes.  It also has black feet and a black beak along with black colored lock washer eyes for safety and durability.  Just like all of Aurora's quality stuffed animals, the plush african penguin is made from high quality, all new kid-safe man made materials and meets or exceeds all U.S. and European safety standards.  Surface washable; for ages 3 and up.
