Whale figurine - Papo

Imagine underwater life with this entirely hand-painted figurine from the Papo brand featuring a calf! The humpback whale is one of the largest animals in the world. Present in oceans and seas around the world, this cetacean mammal measures on average around fifteen meters and can weigh up to 40 tonnes. What characterizes it are its very large fins and the protuberances that cover its head. It is also distinguished by its black color on top and whitish underneath, which it sometimes shows during spectacular jumps out of the water. Besides their majesty, whales are known for their complex songs which resonate for us like a strange and fantastic melody. It is possible that the latter also play an important role during courtship displays. In humpback whales, mating takes place in tropical or warm waters and is followed by a one-year gestation. After birth, the calf will remain dependent on its mother until it is 6 years old, at which time it becomes sufficiently imposing and is therefore no longer easy prey for its predators. Dimensions of the figurine: L14 x W9 x H4 cm approximately. Find many other figurines from the famous Papo brand on our site to recreate an entire marine environment.
