The world's largest adult fish, the whale shark begins life already impressive in size. Young whale sharks measure several meters at birth but remain vulnerable to the dangers of the ocean.
Amazing fact: Unlike other sharks, the whale shark gives birth to several dozen young at a time, which are born fully formed and ready to swim on their own. A filter-feeding herbivore like the adults, the young feed mainly on plankton and tiny fish, swallowing enormous quantities of water to capture their prey. Recognizable by its blue skin dotted with light dots 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, skin details and realistic fins. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater stories or raise children's awareness of the protection of this peaceful giant, today threatened.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
