With its immense triangular fins resembling wings, the manta ray appears to fly underwater. Graceful and impressive, it can reach a wingspan of up to 7 meters, making it the largest of the rays.
Surprisingly, despite its colossal size, the manta ray feeds primarily on plankton and small fish, which it filters by opening its mouth wide. It is found in the warm waters of tropical oceans, where it undertakes long migrations. Highly sociable, it can sometimes gather in spectacular groups and even leap out of the water, a behavior that still intrigues scientists.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the manta ray: elegant silhouette, outstretched fins and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater adventures or educate children about the fragile beauty of the ocean giants.
