Dutch bought back from Greenland a toy penguin for his new baby daughter. Unlikely because Greenland is in the arctic and penguins only live in the Antarctic.

I remember seeing one as a kid at Entebbe, Uganda, in the very early 60s. I am surprised it didn't do better in foreign sales as it seems to me to be a pretty good Canberra replacement.
