Schleich® figure / toy / box, plastic. Schleich® figurines are modeled with highly realistic detail, and carefully hand-painted for educational playtime. Passed down from generation to generation, they naturally contribute to a sustainable game. The Schleich® WILD LIFE platypus is one of the few mammals that lay eggs. He is originally from Australia. Living in rivers and lakes, it feeds on crabs, insects and worms. Its wide beak is reminiscent of a duck. It perceives electrical signals from other animals, which allows it to locate its prey. Unlike other mammals, the platypus has a very low body temperature of only 32 degrees Celsius. Recommended age: 3 - 8 years old
