Schleich Giant Pangolin

Product Description

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. Schleich manufacture amazingly wonderful accurate models of all sorts of animals, including this Giant Pangolin model. All Schleich models are beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children & also make a great collectors item for the nature enthusiast. This stunning Schleich Giant Pangolin makes a perfect addition to the Schleich range.
