Weekly Penguin

Weekly Penguin 174

While the nature has thousands of cute sights, honestly none of them can match the crèche of Emperor penguin chicks huddling together against the Antarctic freeze. This has been captured near perfectly by this tiny figurine from the world famous Schleich, creator of some of the finest and most life-like animal figurines of all time.

Only issue I have with Schleich penguin figurines is their labelling; these buddies are listed on Schleich website as king penguins – and like everyone knows, they are not kings, but emperors. The adult penguin they've featured is a King penguin, though. Still, no matter how they are labeled, their likeness to their real life counterparts is amazing – and heart-melting.
