Meet the king of the jungle! Schleich’s realistic and meticulously hand painted model shows the lion king. Fun facts: It takes five years for the mane of a male lion to grow fully. The larger the mane of the lion the more frightening it is for intruders to the territory which it defends. Lions are the only big cats who hunt together in prides - although usually this task is left to the lionesses. Lions not being very fast use their strength and stealth as a pride. They prowl from different directions circling their prey and using the element of surprise to capture large savannah animals such as wilderbeest and zebras.The Schleich brand is the world wide market leader in design and manufacturing of animal figures.The design of Schleich products isas realistic and naturalistic as possible.
