Meet the tallest land animal in the world! Schleich’s realistic and meticulously hand painted model shows a female giraffe. Fun facts: Female giraffes tend to be shorter than male giraffes growing to 14 feet, whilst males can reach 18 feet. Their necks alone are 6 feet helping them to reach high up leaves and branches. A healthy, adult giraffe can kill a lion with a single, hefty kick. Like most hoofed mammals, giraffes sleep standing up. And the reason for their spots? It may be hard to imagine but from afar giraffes look like big trees to potential predators. The design of Schleich products is as realistic and naturalistic as possible. Schleich products are developed with the assistance of parents, teachers and children and are therefore especially designed for children's hands. The models are all true to life and each meticulouslyhand painted. Schleich products are all made in compliance with all safety regulations. This is a great toy for promoting imaginative play and for children to learn about the natural world. Ages: 3+
