Young Whale Shark Figurine

The largest fish in the world as an adult, the whale shark starts its life already impressive in size. The young whale shark measures several meters from birth but remains vulnerable to the dangers of the ocean.

Astonishing fact: unlike other sharks, the whale shark gives birth to several dozen pups at a time, which are born fully formed and ready to swim on their own. Like adults, the young are herbivorous filter feeders, feeding mainly on plankton and tiny fish, swallowing enormous quantities of water to capture their prey. Recognizable by its blue skin dotted with light spots and lines, it is as unique as a fingerprint: each whale shark has a different pattern.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the young whale shark: massive silhouette, detailed skin, and realistic fins. An ideal model to enrich a marine animal collection, invent underwater stories, or raise children's awareness of the protection of this peaceful giant, now threatened.

A great gift idea for curious children, marine enthusiasts, those interested in discovering ocean animals, and collectors of Papo figurines.
