Majestic and impressive, the Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. Easily recognizable by its small, rounded ears and more rounded back than that of the African elephant, it is a symbol of wisdom and strength in many cultures.
A herbivore, it feeds on leaves, bark, fruit, and roots, consuming several dozen kilos of plants every day. Surprisingly, its trunk, made up of thousands of muscles, serves it to breathe, drink, feed, and communicate with other members of the group. A social species, the Asian elephant lives in herds led by a female, called a matriarch, who guides and protects the clan.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the Asian elephant: wrinkled skin, curved tusks and expressive trunk. A must-have model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories or raise children's awareness about the preservation of endangered species.
