With his trunk and huge tusks, the mammoth strongly looks like his cousin the elephant. This prehistoric animal died more than 10,000 years ago and is one of the best known extinct animals, thanks to the very well preserved fossils found buried in the ice. Native from Africa, they then spread more widely in Eurasia, North America and the plains of Siberia.
This mammal possessed a thick fur to fight against the cold and sometimes even a real woollen mantle in the woolly mammoth. His large curved defences could reach up to 3 m in length and were used, among other things, to search the ground for food. It is assumed that global warming is causing their extinction.
Did you know that there are mammoth paintings on frescoes? Hunted by prehistoric men, mammoths appear in hunting scenes and decorate walls of magnificent caves.

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.
