This media file captures a close-up of a taxidermied Humboldt Penguin displayed within a natural history museum exhibit. The penguin, the primary subject, stands upright with its head slightly turned to the right, showcasing its dark brown and off-white plumage, which appears somewhat faded and aged. Its long neck and distinct beak are prominent. The setting is a diorama attempting to replicate a coastal environment. The background is a painted mural depicting a light blue sky, rugged grey cliffs, and turbulent blue and white ocean waves crashing against the shore and rock formations, including an arch. In the foreground and to the right of the penguin, various other taxidermied or preserved marine life and birds are visible as part of the exhibit. These include a red starfish resting on a rock-like structure, a crab on the ground, and partially visible larger bird (possibly a flamingo) to the far right, and a small white bird near the crab. Several labels are visible. One directly beneath the penguin's feet reads "UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE SAN ANTONIO ABAD DEL CUSCO" and "Museo de Historia Natural," identifying the institution. Below this, it states "'Pinguino de Humboldt'" and "Humboldt Pen" (likely referring to Humboldt Penguin). Another label to the right of the penguin identifies "'Erizo de mar'" and "Sea urchin," accompanied by the number "13." A number "12" is also seen nearby. The exhibit provides a glimpse into the diverse marine and coastal wildlife, presented in a museum setting in Cuzco, Peru.
