Recognizable by its dense, curly fleece, the Merino sheep originated in Spain and has since spread throughout the world. Hardy and calm, it adapts to a variety of environments, from sunny plains to mountain meadows.
Interesting fact: its wool grows continuously! In the wild, an unshorn Merino sheep could produce more than 10 kg of wool per year, a record among sheep.
The Papo figurine realistically captures the stocky appearance and curly wool of this iconic sheep: intricate texture, natural posture, and peaceful gaze. An ideal model to complete a collection of realistic farm animals or create a serene pastoral scene.
