figurine, 56006, Manta ray

The Manta ray is the largest of all ray species, reaching a wingspan of 9 meters and weighing nearly 3 tons. It lives in tropical waters, often not far from coral reefs. What characterizes this completely peaceful and harmless planktivorous creature is, of course, its two large fins or “wings”. Its black back contrasts with its white belly on which are arranged 5 pairs of gills. It has two particularly impressive horns in front of its head, which have earned it the name "devil of the seas". Their function is to direct water towards its mouth to filter it and feed on the seedling it contains. Particularly graceful, the Manta ray evolves in groups of a few individuals and is sometimes approached by divers. STIMULATE IMAGINATION - PAPO figures allow children to invent new stories every day.
