Small but essential to marine ecosystems, shrimp are one of the most widespread crustaceans in oceans and rivers. They are recognizable by their elongated body, long antennae, and multiple small legs.
Surprisingly, shrimp breathe through gills located under their shells and have the ability to swim backward very quickly by abruptly folding their abdomens. Some species play a key role in cleaning coral reefs by ridding fish of parasites. Their great diversity—there are several thousand species—makes them an essential link in the marine food chain.
This Papo figurine exquisitely reproduces the shrimp: delicate antennae, textured shell and realistic silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent aquatic stories or educate children about the importance of these small crustaceans in underwater life.

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.
