In south-west Africa there is a small animal measuring barely 290 millimetres and called the 'sentinel of the desert', or more simply the meerkat. This small carnivore, recognizable by its blond coat strewn with dark fringes on the back, lives in family groups within a colony, in vast burrows. The meerkat stands on its hind legs to watch over the group and warn in case of danger.Wild Animal Kingdom - Visit majestic white-tailed deer in the heart of the forests, explore the savannah alongside the mighty Sumatran tiger or climb snow-capped peaks to look for the snow leopard.For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping younger and older children to develop and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create, invent, innovate with a wide range of animals or characters. One constant factor which has not changed over the years is quality (the quality of the sculptures and of the materials used) which has always been our watchword and will remain so.
