Humboldt Penguin on a Rock Gifts & Homewares
Meet the Humboldt penguin, a charming little bird with a big personality! Named after the chilly Humboldt Current they call home, these penguins are known for their distinctive black bands and a curious nature.
In the wild, they can be found along the shores of Peru and Chile and their sharp claws help them climb over the rocky coastlines. Around 2ft tall, they are expert swimmers, zipping through the water at speeds up to and 500m deep when searching for food.
During the hottest months of the year, temperatures in the Humboldt penguin's home can reach triple digits so the patches of bare, pink skin around its eyes and at the base of its bill help it expel body heat.
Did you know they mate for life? In local folklore, they're symbols of love and loyalty.
This print is perfect for bringing a touch of the wild into your space!
