Wholesale Shrimp Figurine

Small but essential in marine ecosystems, the shrimp is one of the most widespread crustaceans in the oceans and rivers. It is recognized by its elongated body, long antennae and multiple small legs. Surprisingly: shrimp breathe thanks to gills located under their carapace and can swim backward very quickly by suddenly folding their abdomen. Some species play a key role in cleaning coral reefs by removing parasites from fish. Their great diversity — there are several thousand species — makes them an indispensable link in the marine food chain. This Papo figurine finely reproduces the shrimp: delicate antennae, textured carapace and realistic silhouette. An ideal model for enriching a collection of marine animals, inventing aquatic stories or raising children’s awareness of the importance of these small crustaceans in underwater life.
