With its five radiating arms and unique silhouette, the starfish is one of the most iconic marine invertebrates of coasts and reefs. It is found in both warm and cold seas.
Amazingly, the starfish can regenerate a lost arm, and sometimes even rebuild an entire body from a single fragment. Lacking a brain or blood, it moves using tiny tube feet located under its arms, powered by an internal hydraulic system. A carnivore, it feeds primarily on mollusks, which it splits open with the strength of its arms before digesting them outside its body.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the starfish: characteristic shape, textured details and careful realism. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories by the water or to raise children's awareness of the incredible abilities of these amazing invertebrates.
