There are 17 species of penguins, with the Emperor Penguin being the tallest at 1.1 metres tall. When penguin eggs are laid, the father looks after it on his own, standing over the egg for two months to keep it warm. That’s dedicated babysitting! When they’re hatched, they’re covered in fuzzy feathers that keep them toasty and warm. They’re born either grey or black which changes into blue-grey on their back with a white belly. When they’re strong enough, the mothers leave all of their chicks together. When they come back, they find their chick by their recognising their voice. Peep, peep!
Emperor Penguins have two layers of feathers on their legs so they don’t get too chilly in the -50°C of Antarctica.

If birds could enter the Olympics for diving, Emperor Penguins would win the gold medal because they can dive up to 564 metres deep.
It’s all in the detail
Look closely at Living Nature animals and you won’t be able to believe how close they are to the real thing. Our artists add shading and texture by air-brushing each animal by hand, for a realistic finish down to the very last detail.
Soft and gentle or cool and piercing, every animal’s eyes are different. That’s why we don’t use the same eyes for all our soft toys – we match them perfectly to the animal. Just look at the baby blues on our Frenchie puppies if you don’t believe us!
Trimmed to perfection
Our animal artists trim our toys’ fur by hand to get the finished product as close as possible to the real thing. From short fuzzy fur on noses to just the perfect amount of fluff on a tail, we make sure every friend is looking its best for when it comes home to you.
Two good to be true
Look closely at an animal’s fur and you’ll see more than one colour in each strand. We use two-tone fur fabric on lots of our animals to make them extra realistic, even adding prints to add depth and texture to your new friend’s coat.
