A river and lake inhabitant, the beaver is an ingenious rodent renowned for its building skills. It is recognizable by its broad, flat tail, powerful orange incisors, and dense fur that protects it from the cold.
With its strong teeth, it cuts down trees and builds impressive dams that transform the environment. Surprisingly, these dams create ponds and marshes, true refuges for many animal and plant species, making the beaver a key player in its ecosystem. An excellent swimmer, it can stay underwater for more than 5 minutes thanks to its controlled breathing and its automatically closing nostrils.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the beaver: textured fur, prominent teeth and flattened tail. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories along the water or raise children's awareness of the importance of preserving aquatic environments.
