Product Description King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) stand three feet tall and weigh 3040 pounds, making them, after Emperors, the second largest penguin species. Kings breed in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands and can be found as far north as the Falkland Islands. King rookeries are always on low, bare ground, where both parents take turns incubating a single egg while the other feeds at sea. Kings are unique in that they produce young twice in three years instead of annually. Kings are the most colorful penguin species and were regarded by famed ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson as his favorite bird of all. This is a silver and enamel pin. Master artisans paint each article by hand using solutions containing colored granules of glass. Next, they fire the pieces in a kiln to produce an alluring richness of color. It measures approximately 22mm by 41mm.
