Schleich African Elephant Calf #14763 Review:
The most distinguishing feature of this calf is its brown coloring which sets it apart from all the other African elephant calf models that are usually grey in color.
The figure is incredibly cute with a realistic depiction of a young elephant, complete with saggy baggy skin and adorable little ears that have nice texture on the edges. The tail has a cute curl and is molded to the body, rather than being a free-standing tail.
The texture of the figure is also impressive, giving the calf a realistic feel in the hand. This figure is the only choice available for anyone looking for a brown African elephant calf, which makes it even more unique and special.
African Elephant Calf Information:
Weighing up to 120 kilograms at birth, the African elephant is the largest land animal in the world. Despite female elephants weighing between 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms as adults, baby African elephants are undeniably adorable.
With fuzzy, reddish-brown hair that darkens with age and long, wrinkled trunks, baby elephants use their trunks to suckle from their mothers and explore their surroundings. As they grow, their trunks become more adept at feeding, drinking, and socializing.
What sets baby African elephants apart is their strong bond with their mothers and other female relatives. These highly social animals live in large, matriarchal herds where older females serve as caretakers for the younger ones. This network of nurturing individuals allows baby elephants to thrive in their environment.
