The Papo Starfish figure captures the unique beauty of this marine creature. This figure highlights its distinctive star-shaped body with five radiating arms. Each arm is textured to mimic the rough, knobby surface of a real starfish, featuring a pattern of small, raised bumps and intricate details.
The figure is painted in naturalistic hues of orange and yellow, with subtle white spots / humps to enhance the lifelike appearance. The central disc of the starfish, where the arms converge, is carefully sculpted to reflect the natural anatomy of the creature.
The Papo - Starfish measures aproximately in inches: 2.5 x 2.75.
Starfish, also known as sea stars, are iconic marine animals found in oceans around the world. Despite their common name, starfish are not actually fish but echinoderms, closely related to sea urchins and sand dollars. One of the most distinctive features of starfish is their radial symmetry, typically having five arms that extend from a central disc, although some species can have more arms. These arms are covered in tiny tube feet, which are used for locomotion and capturing prey.
Starfish are known for their remarkable regenerative abilities; they can regrow lost arms and, in some cases, even regenerate an entirely new starfish from a single arm. This adaptation is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to recover from predator attacks. Starfish have a unique feeding mechanism; they can extrude their stomachs out of their bodies to envelop and digest food, such as mollusks, coral, and detritus, externally.
