Emperor Penguin Christmas Ornament

16058 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Emperor Penguin and chick ornament measures approximately 3", made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

Emperor Penguins are the largest of their species and spend winter on Antarctica’s open ice. After the female lays a single egg, the father balances it on his feet and covers it with his warm layer of feathered skin. About two months later when the chick hatches, the mother takes over its care.
