With its slender body and distinctive dark spots, the leopard shark is one of the most recognizable sharks on the Pacific coast. It is often seen in shallow waters, swimming calmly over sandy bottoms.
Surprisingly, despite its impressive appearance, the leopard shark is harmless to humans. It feeds primarily on crustaceans, small fish, and mollusks, which it crushes with its flat teeth. Active primarily at night, it prefers to rest on the seabed during the day. Highly valued by divers for its calm nature, it is also an excellent example of adaptation to coastal environments.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the leopard shark: spotted skin, finely sculpted fins, and a realistic silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories in the reefs, or educate children about the diversity and beauty of sharks.
