With its immense wingspan, which can exceed 3 meters, the albatross is a master of gliding over the oceans. Thanks to air currents, it can travel thousands of kilometers without barely beating its wings.
Surprisingly, some albatrosses travel for several months and can circumnavigate the globe. Their endurance is such that they spend most of their lives at sea, returning to land only to breed. Faithful, they often form lifelong pairs and perform veritable aerial dances during courtship displays. Their diet consists mainly of fish and squid, which they catch at the surface or by diving gently.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the albatross: long outstretched wings, slender silhouette and precise details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories of long journeys or to educate children about the feats of these mythical birds.
