At an average length of 12 meters, the whale shark is the largest fish in the world. Despite its impressive size, this ocean giant is completely harmless to humans.
Amazing fact: The whale shark feeds on plankton, small fish, and crustaceans, which it filters by swimming with its mouth wide open. It can swallow more than 6,000 liters of water per hour to capture its tiny prey. A tireless migrant, it travels thousands of kilometers each year in search of the richest food sources. Its peaceful and majestic appearance makes it one of the most fascinating species for divers to observe.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the whale shark: massive silhouette, characteristic patterns on the body and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent grandiose stories or educate children about the protection of this peaceful giant threatened by overfishing.

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.
