Recognizable by its gigantic size and the prominent nose of the adult male, the elephant seal is the largest of all pinnipeds. It is found on the coasts of South and North America, where it spends a large part of its life in the water.
Amazing fact: Males can weigh more than 4 tons and measure over 5 meters long. During the mating season, they engage in spectacular fights to defend their harem. Excellent divers, elephant seals can descend to depths of over 1,500 meters and remain breathless for nearly two hours, a record among marine mammals. Their diet consists mainly of fish and squid, which they catch in the depths.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the elephant seal: imposing body, wrinkled skin and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories about ocean beaches or to educate children about the incredible adaptations of this giant of the sea.

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.
