Schleich - White-tailed fawn

The Schleich White-Tailed Fawn figurine features a beautifully detailed depiction of a young deer. Covered with small white spots on its fur, this fawn uses its camouflage to blend in with tall grass and avoid predators. When its mother is away searching for food, the fawn lies flat on the ground, with its head and neck down, further hiding from danger. This figurine is a perfect tool for teaching children about deer and their early survival instincts.
