Recognizable by its dark back and hourglass-shaped flanks, the common dolphin is one of the most widespread cetaceans in the oceans. Fast and agile, it often travels in large groups of up to several hundred individuals.
Amazing fact: the common dolphin can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h and perform spectacular leaps out of the water. Highly sociable, it uses a wide variety of sounds and whistles to communicate and coordinate its movements. It is found both in the open sea and near the coast, where it feeds on fish and squid. Admired since ancient times, it is still one of the favorite marine animals of divers and sailors today.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the common dolphin: slender silhouette, detailed fins and characteristic patterns. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories over the waves or educate children about the richness of cetacean life.
