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.

Mother tigress avoids danger and frequently moves her young by carrying them in her mouth. Tigers often have several dens and move from one to another as needed. To give birth, the tigress isolates herself out of sight. Babies are born blind and weigh almost a kilo on average. They are very vulnerable but can count on the protection of their mother who will later teach them how to hunt.

The Papo Spoonbill is a bird whose characteristic is to have a long, flat, black beak in the shape of a spatula or spoon widened at its end. Its beak allows it to stir the mud and filter the water to keep only what it likes. Its body has a white plumage which contrasts with the black color of its beak and its thin long legs.
