Majestic and powerful, the African elephant is the world's largest land mammal. Easily recognizable by its large ears shaped like a map of the African continent and its impressive tusks, it is an essential symbol of the savannah.
A herbivore, it consumes several dozen kilos of plants every day: grass, leaves, fruit, and even bark. Surprisingly, its trunk, a true multi-function tool made up of more than 40,000 muscles, allows it to grasp a delicate twig as well as uproot a tree. A highly social species, the African elephant lives in herds led by a female, the matriarch, who passes on her experience to the group.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the impressive appearance of the African elephant: large, outstretched ears, wrinkled skin, and a realistic attitude. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent savannah scenes, or educate children about the preservation of endangered species.
