Red-eared Slider Figurine

Aquatic and colourful, the red-eared slider is one of the most well-known turtle species. Originally from North America, it lives in rivers, ponds, and swamps, where it alternates between long swimming sessions and sunbathing on the banks.

Easily recognizable by the red spot 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 over half an hour underwater and sometimes hibernates buried in mud during winter. Introduced to 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 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.
