Schleich - Giraffe Male

Giraffe bulls are so large, they can put their head through the window of the second floor of a building and say "hello". Their tongue is up to 50 centimetres long, is desensitised to prickly leaves, and has an unusual colour: it is dark blue. This colour helps protect it from sunburn when giraffes use it to wrap around and pluck leaves. Even animals as large as giraffes need to sleep between meals. When there is no threat of danger, they lie down for a nap, but in the wilderness they mainly sleep standing up.

The Schleich Giraffe Male is sculpted standing tall with noticeable muscular detail in his neck and legs. With his front leg stepping forward, this male giraffe figurine was made to be the leader of his giraffe herd. Completed with a hand-painted finish.
