Animal Figurines

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.

After a management of about 4 months, the lioness can give birth to up to 4 cubs which, during the first days of their life, will be blind and therefore entirely dependent on their mother. Until the age of 4 weeks they will be kept away from the group and will feed only on their mother's milk. After that they will mingle with the rest of the group.

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.

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.

The Canada Goose is a species of large bird in the Anatidae family. She is the largest of the barnacles, or black geese. Measuring almost a meter long and with its wingspan between 150 and 180 cm, it is the largest goose in Europe.

The okapi Papo is an intriguing herbivore that hides in the mountains and forests of Congo. Discreet and solitary, it is first related to a zebra because of its stripes on its legs. In fact, it is one of the last ancestors of the giraffe with its hind legs shorter than the front ones, its thin muzzle and large small ears with developed hearing. Its species is threatened due to deforestation.
