Yes, we know this is NOT a whale but rather is a dolphin.
The Papo Killer Whale figure captures the distinctive characteristics and powerful presence of this apex marine predator. The figure showcases the iconic black and white coloration of the killer whale, with a sleek black body contrasting sharply against the white patches on its underside, eye area, and sides. The dorsal fin is prominently featured, standing tall and curved, reflecting the physical traits of mature male orcas. The figure's sculpting represents the smooth yet robust skin of the killer whale. The mouth is slightly open, revealing sharp teeth that hint at the orca's predatory nature. The figure is posed dynamically, depicted in a swimming , capturing the fluid motion and grace of an orca in the wild.
The Papo Killer Whale / Orca measures approximately 7.5 inches long.
The killer whale, or orca, is a highly intelligent and social marine mammal belonging to the oceanic dolphin family. Orcas are found in all of the world's oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. They are easily recognizable by their distinct black-and-white coloration and their large size, with males typically reaching lengths of up to 32 feet and weighing as much as 22,000 pounds, while females are slightly smaller.
Orcas are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and have no natural predators. Their diet is highly varied and can include fish, squid, seals, sea birds, and even large whales. They are known for their sophisticated hunting techniques, which include coordinated group tactics and unique methods adapted to specific prey. This social hunting behavior is facilitated by their complex social structures, known as pods, which are often matriarchal and consist of family groups that can remain together for their entire lives.
