A formidable predator of the Antarctic, the leopard seal is one of the largest seal species. It is recognizable by its slender silhouette, powerful jaws, and spotted coat reminiscent of the land leopard.
Surprisingly, it is an excellent swimmer and can travel long distances under the ice and dive to depths of over 300 meters to hunt. Its diet is varied: fish, squid, penguins, and also other smaller seals. A solitary animal, it roams the ice floes in search of prey, moving with great agility both in the water and on the ice. Although feared by many animals, it plays an essential role in the balance of the Antarctic ecosystem.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the leopard seal: streamlined body, fur details and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent polar stories or educate children about the wildlife of the coldest regions of the planet.
