Lancelot, one of the finest knights of the round table, holds high his great sharp sword and his white and red shield. With his white equipment, the color of innocence and purity, and his light but strong helmet with red feathers, he is ready to face the enemy and fight alongside King Arthur.

The Papo forest snail is a mollusc with a head provided with tentacles bearing the eyes at their end. It likes damp places like the woods, hence its name. Its muscular foot secretes mucus to facilitate its movement and allow it all kinds of vertical acrobatics. Its beautiful yellow shell has brown streaks in the shape of a spiral allowing it camouflage in its place of life.

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.

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 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.
