Accustomed to cold and temperate coasts, the seal is a marine mammal perfectly adapted to life between land and sea. It is recognizable by its streamlined body covered in short hair and its large flippers which make it an excellent swimmer.
Amazing fact: seals can dive to depths of over 200 meters and hold their breath for about twenty minutes. On land, they move by undulating movements, but in the water, their agility is remarkable. Carnivores, they feed mainly on fish, squid, and crustaceans, which they hunt with great precision. Highly sociable, they gather in sometimes noisy colonies on beaches or ice floes.
This Papo figurine realistically recreates the seal's appearance: detailed fur, powerful flippers, and natural posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories about the waves, or educate children about the incredible adaptations of these coastal mammals.
