Drömpals The Penguin Pals

The Little Penguin is small, curious and brave. She loves splashing in icy shallows, gliding across the ice, and collecting tiny shards of ice that sparkle like diamonds. The Big Penguin is a little bigger, calmer, and always ready to set off on new adventures across frozen lakes and snow-covered shores. Together, they remind us just how magical nature can be – especially the cold, wondrous polar and southern habitats that penguins call home, right here in the great Southern Hemisphere we share with Australia.

Did you know there are over 15 different species of penguins? Contrary to what many think, none live at the North Pole – and some even make their home right here in Australia, alongside the far southern reaches of Antarctica, New Zealand and the Galápagos Islands. Sadly, the sea ice and cold coastal habitats where all penguins live are melting, making it harder for them to find food and safe places to survive – a threat that hits close to home for our Australian penguin friends too.

The Little Penguin and The Big Penguin have a few simple tips for all the little eco-heroes down under:

When you carry The Little Penguin or The Big Penguin on your back, you’re not just taking a cute backpack with you – you’re bringing along a friend who’ll help you care for our world, and the precious penguin habitats that stretch across the Southern Hemisphere, from Australia’s shores to the frozen South Pole. Because even the coldest places on Earth need warmth – the warmth of care and kindness.
