Papo Elephant Seal #56032 Review:

The Papo Elephant Seal figurine is expertly sculpted with an arched back and head held high, perfectly capturing the dynamic posture of these magnificent animals. The open mouth, revealing teeth and tongue, adds a touch of realism and intensity to the figure, as if it's emitting a powerful roar.

Nice deep grey uniform color on the entire body.

We wish there was more realistic detailing on the bottom of the figurine. The flattened-off underside could benefit from additional texturing to enhance the overall authenticity of the piece.

Elephant Seal Information:

Elephant seals, with their immense size and distinct features, are fascinating marine mammals that inhabit the coasts of the Pacific Ocean. These remarkable creatures, named for their large size and trunk-like snouts, belong to the seal family Phocidae.

Male elephant seals are known for their impressive size, reaching lengths of up to 16 feet and weighing around 6,000 pounds. They possess a prominent trunk-like snout called a proboscis, which is used to produce loud roaring vocalizations and establish dominance during breeding season.

One of the most intriguing aspects of elephant seals is their unique breeding behavior. Every year, males gather in large colonies and engage in fierce battles for control over territories and females. These intense fights involve loud vocalizations, posturing, and aggressive displays. The dominant male, often referred to as the "beachmaster," mates with multiple females, while subordinate males compete for their chance to breed.

Another striking feature of elephant seals is their ability to dive to extraordinary depths in search of food. They are skilled divers, capable of descending to depths of up to 5,000 feet and staying underwater for over an hour. Their diet primarily consists of fish, squid, and other marine organisms.
