Female Giraffe
Details
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. They are somewhat smaller and have thin horns with a small tuft of fur on top. Giraffe bulls, in contrast, have thick horns with no fur on top.

Why We Love It
Many children's first collections are of animal figurines, and Schleich is a classic! Not all animal figures are created equal, and we've discovered through trial and error that Schleich is the absolute best. Each figure is realistically detailed and hand-painted, making them ideal for both imaginative play and as an educational tool.
