Red-eared Slider Figurine

Aquatic and colorful, the red-eared slider is one of the best-known turtle species. Native to North America, it lives in rivers, ponds, and swamps, where it alternates between long swimming sessions and basking in the sun on the banks.

Easily recognizable by the red patch behind its eyes, the red-eared slider is an omnivorous reptile that feeds on both plants and small aquatic animals. Surprisingly, it can hold its breath for more than half an hour underwater and sometimes hibernates buried in mud during winter. Introduced in Europe, it is now monitored because it can compete with local species.

This Papo figurine realistically depicts the red-eared slider: finely detailed shell, webbed feet, and an expressive head. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent aquatic stories, or raise children's awareness of the diversity of the reptile world.

A great gift idea for curious children, wildlife enthusiasts and those discovering wild animals, and collectors of Papo figurines.
