Product details
One penguin, made of 1,400 penguins.
An emperor penguin drawn out of the huddle it stands in through the Antarctic winter: 1,400 smaller penguins, warm gold where the light falls on its chest. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.
¹ Every 30 to 60 seconds a wave of small steps travels through an emperor penguin huddle, slowly reorganising it. Zitterbart et al., PLoS ONE, 2011
Fig. 9 of 11 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the friend who always shares the warm spot.
