Platypus

Schleich 14840 Platypus. 

The Platypus from Schleich WILD LIFE is one of the few egg-laying mammals. It is native to Australia. It lives in rivers and lakes, feeding on prawns, insects and worms. Its wide bill looks similar to that of a duck. The bill senses the electrical signals of other animals and allows prey to be tracked down. Compared to other mammals, the Platypus has a very low body temperature of only 32 degrees Celsius.

Approx size: 9 x 5 x 2 cm (LWH).

Suitable for ages 3+.

Made from PVC, painted with non-toxic acrylic paints.

The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, hand-painted with care, and provide educationally valuable playtime.
