African Penguin Balsa Ornament balsa-shorebird allowing it to dive easilyThis is the only penguin species found in Africa. They think nothing of diving down 100 ft and can swim 12 miles per hour. They make a loud braying noise similar to a donkey and have the nickname "jackass penguin." Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand carved and then painted with non toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
