With its flattened body and distinctive dark spots, the spotted eagle ray is one of the most elegant deep-sea fish. It is found in the coastal waters of the Pacific, moving gracefully above the sandy bottoms.
Surprisingly, although it resembles a classic ray, the spotted eagle ray has a long, thin tail, sometimes equipped with a venomous stinger that serves as a defense. Harmless to humans, it feeds mainly on shellfish, crustaceans, and small fish, which it crushes with its powerful, flat jaws. A favorite with divers, it often travels in groups and offers a fascinating spectacle as it undulates in the water.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the leopard ray: flattened body, spotted patterns and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater stories or to educate children about the astonishing diversity of cartilaginous fish.
