SCHLEICH Simmental Calf Figure

Calves are born around once a year. It’s very important they drink their mother’s milk within the first few hours. This is a special yellowish liquid known as colostrum that cannot be drunk by humans. It contains numerous antibodies that help the calf to resist diseases. After around five days, the calf will have had enough colostrum and will then drink normal cow’s milk for around ten months until it can nourish itself exclusively from grass and other plants.When calves play, they run around, buck up or gently ram each other’s heads. The Barapasaurus was one of the first large herbivores 200-182 million years ago. Although the dinosaurs were rather small at this time, it reached a length of about 14 meters. The Barapasaurus not only had a very long neck, but its thigh bones also measured up to 1.7 metres. This gave it the name ´´big-legged lizard´´. Due to its body size and energy requirements, the herbivore had to eat several hundred kilograms of food on a daily basis. It therefore used its teeth like a rake to gather leaves from the trees. Because it was not able to chew particularly well with its spoon-shaped teeth, it simply swallowed everything that came between its teeth, whole. The Barapasaurus was two to three times as large as a grown elephant. Specifications: General: - Age Recommendation: Age 3+ - Series: Farm World - Dimensions (cm): 8,3 x 5,5 x 2,6
