Elegant and resilient, the oryx antelope is perfectly adapted to the desert and semi-arid environments of Africa. Easily recognizable by its light coat contrasting with black markings and its long, straight horns, it travels in herds in search of rare vegetation.
Surprisingly, the oryx can survive for days, even weeks, without drinking, obtaining the necessary water from its diet and regulating its body temperature. When running, it can reach speeds of nearly 60 km/h, allowing it to escape predators despite its open environment. Its sharp horns, present in both males and females, are formidable defensive weapons.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the graceful appearance of the oryx antelope: contrasting coat, long, slender horns, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent adventures in the middle of the desert, or educate children about the incredible adaptations animals have to face drought.

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.
