The penguins on the ice floe in the Ostheimershop
Penguins are fascinating birds that live mainly in the cold regions of the southern hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. What makes penguins so special is their ability to adapt perfectly to life in extremely cold environments. Their dense plumage and thick layer of fat protect them from the cold. Penguins are also excellent swimmers, even though they are birds that cannot fly. They use their wings like fins to move elegantly through the water. The Ostheimer penguin brings these unique characteristics to the world of children's play, allowing them to reenact exciting adventures on the ice floes with these figures.
How do penguins move?
Penguins have a very characteristic way of moving that makes them unmistakable. On land, they waddle upright with short, quick steps, which gives them a somewhat clumsy but endearing appearance. In the water, however, they are true acrobats, moving quickly and skillfully. They can glide through the water using their wings as paddles and reach high speeds. This fascinating combination of land and water movement allows children to play with the Ostheimer penguin in a variety of ways.
Why is the Ostheimer penguin available in different designs?
The Ostheimer penguins are available in different designs to represent the diversity and dynamism of these animals. This variety allows children to reenact the penguin family in different scenes:
- Penguin with a straight beak – classic and curious, looking forward
- Penguin with an upturned beak – looking up attentively
