Also available in NZ are inflatable penguins so it is not unusual to see a penguin in a Penguin in a shop. Max (the designer) was at one sea kayak forum with the inflated penguin on the aft deck of his kayak. They are not fairy / little blue penguins we comonly paddle with but the larger emperor(?) penguin. (Might even remember to check exactly which breed they are). The inflatables would be at least 3 foot high.

Jackie, if this gets too "technical", let me know: Actually, I think that I do in fact have a photo of "Brutus" (thank you Peter, for the memory refresh). If I remember correctly, I believe he/she/it??? was "memorialized in photo" at the "Health and Nutrition Station" that all of the Commodores and warmly welcomed guests "jogged" to after their grueling paddle! I'll check my photo archives and get it posted.
