With its long, whip-like tail, the thresher shark is one of the ocean's most astonishing predators. It is instantly recognizable by its immense caudal fin, which can measure as much as half its body length.
Amazing fact: The thresher shark uses its tail as a formidable weapon. With a single blow, it can knock out entire schools of fish before devouring them. An excellent swimmer, it lives in the open sea but sometimes approaches the coast to hunt. Secretive by nature, it feeds mainly on sardines, mackerel, and squid. Its elegant silhouette and unique hunting behaviors make it a fascinating species for marine biologists.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the thresher shark: streamlined body, spectacular tail and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent thrilling stories or to educate children about the incredible hunting strategies of sharks.
