The CollectA Reticulated Giraffe Calf features more muted coloring than other models as the space between its spots is a brown/orange hue rather than the usual white, giving it a natural appearance.
The CollectA Reticulated Giraffe Calf measures: 4.3" L x 4.75" T.
The unique coloring of this giraffe calf is more muted than others, with the space between the spots being a lingering brown/orange instead of white. This adds a more natural and realistic touch to the calf.
The face of this giraffe calf is also very nice looking with ears out wide, giving it a cute and charming look. The slightly rougher texture of the toy adds to the realism and makes it feel more like an actual animal. The color contrast with the dark mane is also a nice touch and adds to the overall aesthetic.
What I appreciate most about this toy is its size - it's one of the taller giraffe calves available.

A reticulated giraffe calf is a young giraffe that belongs to the reticulated giraffe subspecies, which is one of the nine subspecies of giraffes. Reticulated giraffes are found in the Horn of Africa, specifically in parts of Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
A reticulated giraffe calf is typically born after a gestation period of around 15 months and is about 6 feet tall at birth. The calf is usually able to stand up and walk within an hour of being born, and it starts nursing from its mother soon after.
In the first few weeks of its life, the calf is very vulnerable to predators such as lions and hyenas, so it stays close to its mother for protection. As the calf grows older, it starts to explore its environment and becomes more independent, although it may still stay close to its mother for several months.
Reticulated giraffe calves are known for their distinctive coat pattern, which consists of large, block-like patches of dark brown surrounded by white lines. This pattern helps to camouflage the calf in its natural habitat, where it can blend in with the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.
