With its flattened body and characteristic dark spots, the leopard ray is one of the most elegant fish in the seabed. It is found in the coastal waters of the Pacific, gracefully moving above sandy bottoms.
Surprisingly, although it resembles a classic ray, the leopard ray has a long, slender tail, sometimes equipped with a venomous barb that it uses for defense. Harmless to humans, it feeds mainly on shellfish, crustaceans, and small fish, which it crushes with its powerful flat jaws. Very popular with divers, it often moves in groups and offers a fascinating spectacle as it undulates in the water.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the leopard ray: flattened body, spotted patterns, and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent underwater stories, or raise children's awareness of the amazing diversity of cartilaginous fish.
