Adélie Penguin Stuffed Plush Toy – Lifelike, Soft & Perfect for Penguin Lovers

The Adélie penguin is one of the most iconic penguins of Antarctica, known for its bold personality and striking appearance. These mid-sized birds, measuring 70–73 cm (28–29 in) tall, are easily recognized by their black-and-white plumage and distinctive white eye rings. Named after Adélie Land, which honors the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville, they are one of the most southerly distributed penguin species.

Adélie penguins are incredible swimmers, capable of leaping up to 3 meters (10 feet) out of the water to land on ice. They primarily feed on krill and fish, often diving as deep as 180 meters (590 feet). Known for their curious and sometimes comical behavior, they’ve been observed pushing each other into the water to "test" for predators. A true Antarctic survivor, this penguin thrives in extreme conditions, and its colonies can number in the hundreds of thousands, making them a vital part of the icy ecosystem!
