Schleich - Giraffe Calf

Baby giraffes are reared together with other young animals in a kind of kindergarten. A female giraffe from the herd acts as the "nursery school teacher" and looks after the calves while the other mothers search for food. If predators approach, she immediately raises the alarm. Then the female giraffes stand protectively in front of their babies and kick at the attackers. At around four months, they start to pluck and eat the small leaves from trees, but they still suckle from their mothers until they are ninth months.

The Schleich Giraffe Calf is very cute with it's big ears, dark eyes and tilted head. Standing tall and straight, this giraffe figure portrays a very realistic stance of a baby giraffe. Complete with a hand-painted finish.
