With its spiral shell and tentacles, the nautilus is one of the oldest marine animals still present on Earth. A true living fossil, it has existed for over 400 million years.
Surprisingly, unlike octopuses and squids, the nautilus has an external shell divided into chambers filled with gas and liquid, which allows it to control its buoyancy. It lives primarily in the depths of the Pacific Ocean and sometimes comes up at night to feed on fish, crustaceans, and carrion. Slow-moving and discreet, it protects itself from predators by withdrawing completely into its shell. Its beauty and rarity make it a symbol of marine biodiversity worth preserving.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the nautilus: finely sculpted spiral shell, realistic tentacles and elegant silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater stories or educate children about the discovery of ancient species.

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.
