SCHLEICH Wild Life Kangaroo Toy Figure, 3 to 8 Years (14756)

There are 65 kangaroo species - ranging from the small tree-kangaroo to the red giant kangaroo, which is the largest of all. When it stands upright, it is as tall as an adult human. 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. The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, lovingly hand-painted with care, and provide children with educationally valuable playtime.
