With its long ivory tusks and massive body, the walrus is one of the Arctic's most iconic marine mammals. It is found on ice floes and icy beaches, where it lives in large groups called "herds."
Surprisingly, its tusks, which can reach a meter long, are used for defense, to impress rivals, and also to help it climb back onto the ice. An excellent diver, the walrus can descend to depths of 80 meters to feed on shellfish, clams, and crustaceans, which it sucks up with its powerful mouth. Its thick layer of fat, called "blubber," allows it to withstand the extreme cold of polar seas.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the walrus: imposing tusks, wrinkled skin, and a robust silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories in the heart of the Arctic, or educate children about the lives of large polar mammals.

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.
