Schleich Wild Life Zeekoe 14839

The manatee from the Schleich WILD LIFE theme world is a mammal that lives in tropical waters and eats seagrass, algae, and other aquatic plants. The manatee is not closely related to the cow, but to the elephant. Over millions of years, its front legs have evolved into flippers. Its hind legs have completely disappeared. The manatee's tail has become a shovel-shaped paddle. The dugong's tail has evolved into a fork-shaped paddle. Schleich figurines are faithfully reproduced and always to scale. All figurines are hand-painted, ensuring they always accurately reflect the original.
