Giraffe Calf | Schleich

Why do giraffes have spots? It is hard to imagine that they would serve as camouflage for such large animals. But it is true: From afar, giraffes look like a big tree. Despite the camouflage spots in their fur, giraffes do not always remain undetected by predators. But they know to defend themselves and can kick really hard with their front hooves. They mainly do this if they want to protect their young, because the adult animals are normally rarely attacked. Anyone who has the opportunity to look at giraffes from close up can easily distinguish the females from the males.

Baby elephants are still quite clumsy after their birth and must first learn how to handle their trunks. They are still not able to feed themselves with it, so suckle from their mothers for the first year. In the process they gain a good kilo in weight each day. It is very important that they grow big quickly, because a lion or crocodile can hardly cause any harm to healthy, adult animals. If a predator does come dangerously close, the adults form a circle around the young. They are well protected in the middle. Age Recommendation: 3-8 years Dimensions: 2.7 x 1.4 x 2.2…

Giraffes live in scattered enclaves throughout sub-Saharan Africa. They are the tallest animals alive today, stretching to nearly 20 feet, and their amazing tongues allow them to reach nearly two more feet and eat their favorite foods. History: Having such a long neck could really be a pain - fortunately, Giraffes have some pretty amazing features in their design. First, the Giraffe’s heart has to work hard to pump blood all the way up its neck to reach the brain, but when a Giraffe stoops down to drink, all that blood should just rush to its head.

Baby cheetahs weigh just 300 grams when they are born. Their coat already has the typical black spots, and their face the unmistakable tear drop stripes. Baby cheetahs are very helpless and only open their eyes after two weeks. When their mother is out hunting, they are completely defenceless against hungry lions and hyenas. The best possible camouflage is the only chance they have. A long, silver mane helps them here. It stands up like a mohican hairstyle and looks like long blades of grass from afar. Baby cheetahs learn to hunt for themselves when they are around six months old.

After birth, the calves are lovingly licked dry by their mothers in their stall. After just a few days, they can join the other cows out on the pasture to frolic around and play. A few weeks later, they start eating grass and hay. However, they still can't digest the fresh green fodder as well as adult cows. That's why calves keep drinking their mother's milk for six to twelve months. They are fully grown by the age of around five, and can live to an age of between 20 and 25. Age Recommendation: 3-8 Dimensions: 3.0 x 1.3 x 2.0…

The little Galloway Calf looks a bit lost as it stretches its black snout into the air. It can't really be cold, because its thick curls keep it warm out in the pasture all year round. Maybe it is hungry? The little Galloway Calf probably wants to drink some milk. So where is its mother, the Galloway Cow (sold separately)? She can't be far away. Surely she's grazing over there, where the grass look so lush and juicy. Still a little unsteady on its feet, the little calf stumbles over to its mother. It won't be leaving her side anytime soon!

White-tailed fawns have lots of small white spots on their fur. These serve as camouflage, since the dots make them harder to spot in high grass.

Panda bears start small. Extremely small. At birth they weigh just around 100 grams. That's as much as a bar of chocolate or a small yogurt. Apart from the Kangaroos, no other mammal gives birth to such small babies. After four weeks, the cubs have their typical black and white fur, after 6-8 weeks, they open their eyes for the first time. They remain with their mother for about two years and are very playful. Their mother likes to roll them back and forth gently and lovingly grapples around with them. Age Recommendation: 3-8 years Dimensions: 1.4 x 1.6 x 1.8…

Cheetahs are excellent hunters. First of all they approach their prey very carefully until they are within a few metres, then when the time is right, they run at lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes direction, the Cheetah can simply turn its body mid-leap. Its flexible spine makes this possible. However, if they have no success after a few hundred metres, they have to give up. The high speed is so energy-sapping, they can only keep it up for a short distance.
