Schleich 14746 Cheetah Female FigureThe Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, hand-painted with care, and provide educationally valuable playtime.Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world. With their slim bodies and powerful, long legs, they can accelerate up to 120 km/h within a few seconds.Cheetahs are excellent hunters. First of all, they approach their prey very carefully until they are within a few metres, then when the time is right, they run at lightning speed. If the fleeing prey suddenly changes direction, the Cheetah can simply turn its body mid-leap. Its flexible spine makes this possible. However, if they have no success after a few hundred metres, they have to give up. The high speed is so energy-sapping, they can only keep it up for a short distance.Dimensions 3.8 x 1.5 x 2.4 inch (W x D x H)Suggested age suitability 3 years and upwards.EU Warning: Not suitable for children under the age of 3 years due to small parts which could cause a choking hazard.
