The largest animal ever to live on Earth, the blue whale is a true giant of the oceans. It can measure over 30 meters long and weigh up to 200 tons, the equivalent of several dozen elephants.
Amazing fact: despite its colossal size, the blue whale feeds almost exclusively on krill, tiny shrimp that it filters through its baleen. During feeding periods, it can swallow up to 4 tons of krill per day! Its heartbeat is so powerful that it can be heard several kilometers away. A tireless migrant, it travels thousands of kilometers between polar waters and tropical seas.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the blue whale: slender silhouette, skin details and realistic proportions. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent grandiose stories or raise children's awareness of the protection of this giant of the sea threatened by human activities.
