Schleich - Kangaroo

The Schleich Kangaroo Figurine is an intricately designed, hand-painted model that brings the fascinating world of kangaroos to life. There are around 65 species of kangaroo, from the small tree-kangaroo to the impressive red giant kangaroo, which can grow as tall as an adult human when standing upright. Known for their unique hind legs, kangaroos use a "rubber band" effect to propel themselves forward with each jump. The faster they hop, the further they travel, using less energy. This kangaroo figurine offers a great opportunity for children aged 3 and above to explore the wonders of these amazing marsupials while engaging in imaginative play.
