NPCK Animaux Sauvages
NESTLE, Peter, Cailler, Kohler [trade : chocolate : O/S : Switzerland] "Animaux Sauvages" / wild animals - serie 35 (1930) 4/12

This is a far better set for the squirrel to end in than where we started, trying to make them into a pet. Here he can end his week, and his days, sharing his tree based home with a mate, and chewing on a nut. 

The set consists of twelve little paper cards, and the other animals are : 

  1.  Loutre [otter]
  2.  Hermine [ermine]
  3.  Martre [pine marten]
  4.  Ecureuil [squirrel]
  5.  Lievre [hare]
  6.  Renard [fox]
  7.  Chevreueil [roe deer]
  8.  Cerf [stag]
  9.  Sanglier [wild boar]
  10.  Marmotte [marmot]
  11.  Chamois [alpine goat]
  12.  Bouquetin [alpine ibex]
