I don't think most people are even aware of the great auk unfortunately. I came across a big beautiful book on the great auk recently at a book sale that must have been a good 2-3" thick. I didn't get it at the time because I figured with limited space I don't need an entire tome about just the great auk. I've regretted it ever since.  :-\

Does anyone make a great auk toy?

I work in an aquarium and right in our lobby there is a beautiful marble statue of two great auks and their egg. There's no sign or plaque around it, so people (many staff included) assume that it's a penguin statue. Such a shame.

Interesting set!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

That's a very cool set. I'll have to try to track one down.

Oh, you mean this little thing?  ;D


Good set--long out of production.

There is also a Yowies Forgotten Friends Great Auk as well.
