Includes:

1 x Ring - Tailed Lemur

1 x African Bush Elephant

Fun Facts: The African bush elephant has grey skin with scanty hairs. Its large ears cover the whole shoulder and can grow as large as 2 m. Measures 18.5 x 11cm.

1 x Meerkat

Fun Facts: Meerkats are small burrowing animals, living in large underground networks with multiple entrances which they leave only during the day. Measure 2 x 6cm.

1 x Giraffe 

Fun Facts: Reticulated giraffes are ruminants, just like cattle and other ungulates, and their stomachs have four parts, with food passing through the first and water going directly to the second. Measures 15.5 x 16.5cm.

1 x Striped Hyena

Fun Facts: The striped hyena is a primarily nocturnal animal, which typically only leaves its den at the onset of total darkness, returning before sunrise. Measures 8 x 6cm.

1 x King Cheetah

Fun Facts: Cheetahs can accelerate four times as fast as a human and can slow down by 14 kilometres per hour in one stride. Measures 13 x 5cm.

1 x Lioness

Fun Facts: Lions are the only members of the cat family to display obvious sexual dimorphism. They also have specialised roles that each gender plays in the pride. For instance, the lioness, the hunter, lacks the male's thick mane. The colour of the male's mane varies from blond to black, generally becoming darker as the lion grows older. Measures 11 x 5.5cm.

1 x Zebra

Fun Facts: Embryological evidence shows that the animal's background colour is black, and the white stripes and bellies are additions. Measures 12.4 x 9.3cm.

1 x Rhinoceros

Fun Facts: White rhinoceros spends about half of the day eating, one third resting, and the rest of the day doing various other things. White rhinoceroses, like all species of rhinoceros, love wallowing in mudholes to cool down. Measures 17 x 7.5cm.

1 x African Buffalo

Fun Facts: The horns of African buffalo are very peculiar. A characteristic feature of them is the adult bull’s horns have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield referred to as a “boss’, which cannot always be penetrated even by a rifle bullet. Measures 15.5 x 7.5cm.

1 x Hippopotamus

Fun Facts: Their skin secretes a natural sunscreen substance which is red-coloured. The secretion is sometimes referred to as "blood sweat” but is neither blood nor sweat. This secretion is initially colourless and turns red orange within minutes. Measures 14 x 8.6cm.
