Animal Figurines

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.

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.

The robin is a passerine species. It looks like a small plump bird with relatively short wings reaching painfully to the middle of its tail

Papo's Hermit Crab is a crustacean found on the European Atlantic coasts. Its soft body needs to be protected from predators hence the need for a mollusc shell adapted to its size on its back. It moves with its five pairs of legs, the first of which has two claws. However, he is far from being a hermit because he likes community life and eats everything he finds.

Le Clydesdale de Papo avec sa belle crinière et ses balzanes ou chaussettes blanches est un beau cheval de trait, majestueux et imposant de la vallée du Clyde, en Ecosse. Puissant, grâce à sa musculature et sa grande taille mais aussi volontaire et courageux, il était utilisé pour les travaux agricoles, forestiers, ou les transports de marchandises lourdes. Docile et gentil, on l’apprécie aussi pour l’attelage et les loisirs.

The Australian emu is the only surviving species of the Dromaiidae family. Being able to reach two meters in height, it is also, by its size, the second biggest bird of the current world behind the two ostriches.

The African buffalo is a wild animal, herbivorous, whose size can reach 1.7 m in height and 3.4 m in length and whose horns are often huge
