Hotaling Papo mallard duck

The mallard duck's outer feathers are waterproof, thanks to oil that’s secreted from a gland near the tail. Beneath this tightly packed waterproof layer of feathers lies a soft, warm layer of feathers called down. Twice a year, mallards molt, or shed, their flight feathers, temporarily grounding the birds for several weeks until the feathers grow back.

All of Papo’s figurines are hand painted and highly detailed with a natural color-scheme that replicates the real animal, making the figure extremely realistic looking.

Measures approximately 2.8″ x 2″ x 1.2
