Nautilus Figurine

With its spiral shell and tentacles, the nautilus is one of the oldest marine animals still present on Earth. A true living fossil, it has existed for more than 400 million years.

Remarkably, unlike octopuses and squids, the nautilus has an external shell divided into gas and liquid-filled chambers, which allows it to control its buoyancy. It lives primarily in the depths of the Pacific Ocean and sometimes rises at night to feed on fish, crustaceans, and carrion. Slow and discreet, it protects itself from predators by completely withdrawing into its shell. Its beauty and rarity make it a symbol of marine biodiversity to be preserved.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the nautilus: finely sculpted spiral shell, realistic tentacles, and elegant silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater stories, or introduce children to the discovery of ancient species.

A great gift idea for curious children, marine enthusiasts, those interested in discovering ocean animals, and collectors of Papo figurines.
