Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world. With their slim bodies & powerful, long legs, they can accelerate up to 120 km/h within a few seconds. Cheetahs are excellent hunters. First of all they approach their prey very carefully until they are within a few metres, then when the time is right, they run at lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes direction, the Cheetah can simply turn its body mid-leap. Its flexible spine makes this possible. However, if they have no success after a few hundred metres, they have to give up. The high speed is so energy-sapping, they can only keep it up for a short distance.

Despite the camouflage spots in their fur, giraffes do not always remain undetected by predators. But they know to defend themselves & can kick really hard with their front hooves. They mainly do this if they want to protect their young, because the adult animals are normally rarely attacked. Anyone who has the opportunity to look at giraffes from close up can easily distinguish the females from the males. They are somewhat smaller & have thin horns with a small tuft of fur on top. Giraffe bulls, in contrast, have thick horns with no fur on top. Schleich manufacture amazingly wonderful accurate models of all sorts of animals, including this Giraffe model.

Giant pangolins are very peculiar mammals that look like giant fir cones or artichokes. They usually walk on two legs which makes them look a bit like a hunchbacked person. The body of the giant pangolin is almost completely covered with sharp scales that overlap each other. These protect it against the sharp claws of leopards & hyenas. With their long, curved claws, they burrow into ant & termite hills in order to dig out the animals & eat them with relish. Sometimes they also pull off the bark from trees in order to get to the insects lying underneath. Since giant pangolins do not have any teeth, they collect their prey using their long, sticky tongue & swallow them whole.
