Small and robust, the Hermann's tortoise is one of Europe's best-known species. Easily recognizable by its domed shell adorned with yellow and black patterns, it lives in Mediterranean regions, where it thrives in dry, sunny environments.
A herbivore, it feeds primarily on wild plants, flowers, and fruits. Surprisingly, Hermann's tortoises can live for several decades and hibernate each winter to protect themselves from the cold. Their horny scales grow in successive rings, sometimes allowing their age to be estimated. Now protected, this species is a symbol of Mediterranean biodiversity.
This Papo figurine faithfully captures the details of Hermann's tortoise: colorful shell, scaly legs, and peaceful attitude. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent playful stories, or educate children about species conservation.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow 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 our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
