Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 382.9 Hz, 41 cents flat of G4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A penguin is a bird that cannot fly, but it is a superb swimmer: its wings are stiff, strong flippers that it uses to fly through the water. Almost all penguins live in the southern half of the world. The largest, the emperor penguin, stands about 1.1 meters (3.7 feet) tall.
Tap it and it flaps its flippers up and down. Its colors help it hide in the sea: from above, its black back blends with the dark water below, and from below, its white front blends with the bright surface. With ✋ Hands-on on, push it or pick it up and drop it: it wobbles with its flippers out for balance and rocks back upright.
