The most eye-catching feature of the Papo Cormorant figure is the gold feather detailing on the back of the figure, which create an impressive gold-on-black sheen that is sure to catch the eye.
The cormorant's wings are spread wide, as if ready to take off or drying its wings after a swim in the water. The wings are also adorned with the same gold feather detailing as the back, creating a cohesive and beautiful look. The yellow face with a grey curved bill protruding adds a touch of realism to the figurine.
The figure rests on its webbed feet and tail.
The Papo Cormorant #56049 measures: 4" W x 2" T.
Cormorants are a family of aquatic birds that are found all over the world, except for Antarctica. They are known for their distinctive long necks, hooked bills, and black or dark brown feathers.
There are about 40 different species of cormorants, ranging in size from 50 cm to 100 cm in length. They are skilled swimmers and divers, and their webbed feet and strong wings allow them to propel themselves through the water with ease. Cormorants are also known for their ability to hold their breath for extended periods of time, which makes them excellent hunters.
Cormorants are highly social birds and are known for their communal roosting habits. They often gather in large groups, or colonies, where they build their nests and raise their young. In many cultures, cormorants have been trained for fishing, and their ability to catch fish is renowned.
Despite their impressive hunting skills, cormorants have been the subject of controversy in some areas, particularly where they are seen as a threat to commercial fishing. Some fishermen believe that cormorants deplete fish populations, and there have been efforts to control their numbers through culling or habitat destruction.
