The Papo wild boar is the youngest of the sow and the boar. Unlike adults, it has a coat with dark stripes, preceding the red beast stage around 6 months when it becomes more independent. He is born perfectly alert, with his eyes open and happy to be able to follow his mother on her travels from the end of their first week.

The shrimp is an aquatic crustacean that has 5 pairs of legs without hooks but whose cilia facilitate swimming. It is elongated with a carapace and a head that supports highly developed antennae and mandibles. Omnivorous, it lives among the algae on the sandy bottom and feeds on plankton, fish, dead crabs and worms. Its lifespan can be 7 years.

Out of the water, the Papo beaver stands on its hind legs, which are large and wide with powerful claws but also webbing for swimming quickly. Its small front paws, also clawed, have very nimble fingers for digging. On the lookout, it leans on its paddle, a large flattened tail that serves as a fin, rudder and pendulum in the water. An excellent swimmer, he is always ready to dive.

The caterpillar is the larva of the butterfly. Among the four stages of successive development (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly), the caterpillar is one of the two mobile stages and the one that provides most of the animal's growth, the reproductive function being reserved for the butterfly. The development of the caterpillar requires several moults, the last of which, called pupation, marks the passage to the pupa stage, called a chrysalis in Lepidoptera.

Cub Papo finally came out of his den where he was protected from predators by his mother, the wolf. Fragile, he is born deaf and blind. He can now play with his brothers and sisters or imitate his mother to learn how to hunt and eat by catching small animals such as rodents. His brown coat looks more and more like that of his father the wolf.

The Papo wolf is a wild, carnivorous animal that flees humans unlike its cousin the dog. In Europe, it is a protected species that lives in mountains, meadows and forests. Like the gray wolf, it is a fearsome hunter that runs very fast. To feed, it attacks animals that are weaker than it. It lives in packs and the dominant pair gives birth to cubs.

Papo's leopard shark has a spotted dress like that of the leopard. It usually lives glued to the sandy bottoms of coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific oceans. An active swimmer, it feeds mainly on molluscs and crustaceans. This large, rather peaceful and not very shy fish is not aggressive to humans.
