Alligator Dimensions: 7.5 x 2.3 x 1.5 inch. The alligator is a dangerous predator with exceptionally strong jaw muscles. Only the white shark can bite harder than him. The interesting thing: Only the muscles that close the jaws are extremely strong. The muscles that open the snout are so weak that they can be closed with simple tape. Compared to the saltwater crocodile, alligators are smaller and much wider. They live only in rivers and lakes in the south-eastern part of the United States and China.

Black Panther Dimensions: 4.6 x 1.3 x 2.0 inch. Jaguars and leopards with black coats are called black panthers. Despite their black coats, they still have the characteristic flower-shaped markings. Since these markings are as dark as their coat, you can only see them when the light is right. 

Blue Poison Dart Frog Dimensions: 2.2 x 2.0 x 1.3 inch. The bright Blue Poison Dart Frog with black spots on its back is beautiful. Although it’s so small, it immediately stands out with this fancy coloring. Contrary to its name, its skin is only poisonous when it eats the ants in its native rainforest in South America. If you feed it other food, you can safely take the pretty little frog in your hand. Give it a try! 

Hyacinth Macaw Dimensions: 3.3 x 0.9 x 1.4 inch. The Hyacinth Macaw skillfully clings on to the bark of the tree. With its powerful claws and the help of its beak, the parrot climbs up the tree trunk in no time at all. I wonder where it’s going? Ah, it’s spotted some delicious nuts hanging up high in the tree! One of its favorite dishes! The beautiful Hyacinth Macaw has bright blue plumage with golden yellow skin around its beak and eyes. It contrasts beautifully with the iridescent plumage! 

Indian Rhinoceros Dimensions: 5.5 x 1.7 x 2.6 inch. The Indian rhinoceros lives in Northeast India. Its thick folds of skin make it unmistakable, as though it were wearing thick armour. Contrary to its African relatives, however, it is very calm and peaceful. It spends most of its time eating grass, twigs, leaves, branches, and fruits. 

Indian Rhinoceros Baby Dimensions: 3.0 x 1.0 x 2.2 inch. The thick, scaly skin of the baby armored rhinoceros already looks a lot like its parents. But it doesn’t have a horn yet. That’s a good thing, actually, because otherwise it would poke its mother in the belly when it nurses. Do you think it might be hungry, the way it raises its head? No wonder: it drinks up to 30 liters of milk a day! Maybe there’s some more milk in the fridge?

Jaguar Dimensions: 4.7 x 1.4 x 2.3 inch. Jaguars have the strongest bite of any big cat: twice as strong as that of a lion. With it, jaguars can even crack open tortoise shells without any effort. It’s easy to tell jaguars apart from leopards, since they have spots in the middle of the flower-shaped markings on their coats.

Japanese Macaque Dimensions: 2.7 x 1.2 x 2.2 inch. The Japanese Macaque looks so friendly. It almost looks as if it is smiling, tilting its bushy head with the small reddish face: “Do you have a treat for me?” Who could resist! Like all monkeys, this macaque loves fresh fruit. If it’s sweet, like bananas, it loves it all the more. The Japanese Macaque is curious and sociable and likes to make friends. Once it has got to know you, it’s sure to let you cuddle its thick furry back. 

Kangaroo Dimensions: 4.7 x 1.4 x 2.8 inch. These marsupials have a kind of rubber band in their hind legs. It propels them upwards with each jump. The faster a kangaroo bounces, the farther the animal is “catapulted” forwards, and the less energy it consumes. 

Koala Dimensions: 2.0 x 1.4 x 1.7 inch. Koalas are quite the sleepy heads. They spend about 14 hours each day taking extensive naps. The rest of the time, they are busy eating eucalyptus leaves. They consume about a kilogram of them every day. They are very picky and will only go for 12 of the about 300 eucalyptus species.

Sloth Dimensions: 1.6 x 1.2 x 2.4 inch. The sloth spends almost its entire life in the trees of tropical rainforests. Its curved claws give it a firm grip on the branches of the trees. Since it always hangs from the branches upside down, the sloth’s fur grows from its belly towards its back, instead of growing from its back or head. This allows rainwater to drain away better. 

Tiger Dimensions: 5.9 x 3.2 x 7.1 inch. Like all tigers, this one prowls on thick, padded feet…so he can sneak a cookie from the snack jar before dinner. A natural-born predator, he fears only two things: Puppies and the vacuum. Enjoys long soaks in a bubble bath. schleich® wild animal figurines for toddlers and kids introduce the limitless possibilities of storytelling and imaginative play. From realistic ocean and jungle animal figurines to our popular playsets, schleich® WILD LIFE lets your stories run wild.

Tiger Cub Dimensions: 2.8 x 0.8 x 1.6 inch. The tiger’s stripes are as varied and unique as fingerprints. Even the skin underneath is striped. At first glance, the striking pattern hardly seems to be beneficial. After all, the tiger does not want to be discovered by its prey immediately. When the tiger goes hunting in the twilight, it is however perfectly camouflaged with the stripes. They appear as tall grass moving in the wind or like fleeting shadows. Unlike many other “cats” and big cats the tiger swims well and likes it, too. Therefore, the water is not a safe place for many prey animals. 

White Tiger Dimensions: 5.1 x 1.2 x 2.4 inch. White tigers are breathtakingly beautiful. They have a snow-white fur and strong, bright blue eyes. They differ from normal tigers because fur, skin and eyes cannot form red and yellow pigments. However, they are not albinos, for those always have red eyes. White tigers usually live in zoos because in the wild they would have little chance of survival. Because their fur is missing the camouflage, prey would discover them quickly and run away early enough.
