Schleich - Tapir Baby

What fruit do you think of when you see our Tapir Baby from schleich® WILD LIFE? That's right! Its stripes and spots look a little like a watermelon. The fun pattern fades as it grows up. As it grows, the little greedy guts puts on a lot of weight. As an adult, your little trunked friend weighs almost as much as a horse. Wow. That's heavy. But it can also be very useful. It can simply lean against trees to knock them over. Then the Tapir calf can get to the most delicious fruits at the very top. A truly impressive animal! Until then, however, it prefers leaning on your schoolbag. Not to knock it over, but simply because it's cozy.

Schleich’s Tapir Calf is a great model of the juvenile pig-like jungle herbivore. It is sculpted in a walking position with its front right leg mid-step. Its body is coloured dark brown with white spots and stripes all over its back and face, a unique pattern that helps it to camouflage in the jungle, and will begin to change as it matures. This model is beautifully detailed all over its body, including textured fur, and its unique facial features such as its sweet ears and small nose trunk. The Tapir Calf pairs perfectly with the Schleich adult Tapir, so add this wild duo to your jungle animal collection.
