Leatherback Sea Turtle Figurine

The largest of sea turtles, the leatherback turtle can measure over 2 meters long and weigh nearly 600 kg. It is recognized by its dark shell, which lacks scales and is marked with raised lines that give it a unique appearance.

Remarkably, the leatherback turtle can travel thousands of kilometers between its breeding grounds and feeding areas. It feeds almost exclusively on jellyfish, thus helping to regulate their population in the oceans. Its body is perfectly adapted to long dives: it can reach depths of 1,200 meters and remain underwater for over an hour.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the leatherback turtle: imposing silhouette, detailed shell, and powerful flippers. An ideal model to enrich a marine animal collection, invent stories across the oceans, or educate children about the protection of endangered marine species.
