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.

His brown coat looks more and more like that of his father the wolf.
The stag beetle is the largest beetle in Europe! The males are easily recognized by their spectacular antler-shaped mandibles, which are the origin of the term "kite". After spending nearly a year underground as a larva, its life expectancy is only about 2 months.
