Hammerhead Shark (Schleich)

Hammerhead Shark (Schleich)

Hammerhead sharks feed on sardines, herring and mackerel. In the past it was thought that they killed prey by hitting it with their heads. Now we know that the unusual head shape allows improved vision. Just like the hammerhead shark from Schleich Wild Life, the eyes are located on the outside left and right of their head and give the predator a 360 degree view. The snout allows them to sense electromagnetic signals of their prey.

Baby Orca (Schleich)

Baby Orca (Schleich)

Killer whales are also known as orcas and are actually part of the dolphin family. The animals are easy to differentiate from other whales thanks to their distinctive colouring: While the skin on their back is pitch-black, their bellies are a bright white, as you can see on the killer whale calf from Schleich. After just a few months the calves start hunting for their own fish, marine mammals and sea birds.

Fairy Marween with Glitter Unicorn (Schleich)

Fairy Marween with Glitter Unicorn (Schleich)

Unicorns are actually very shy and dignified beings, and so you should be very cautious when dealing with them. But that's not the case with Marween and her glistening unicorn. And Marween’s life is just as colourful as she is. She and her unicorn romp across the meadows of bayala, dash through the streets of the elf town and constantly try out new tricks. One evening, the two of them were trotting through warm summer rain in the moonlight when Marween laughed heartily. The raindrops seemed like liquid gold and since that day, they both glisten in the sunlight with gold sparkles

Fairy Feya with Pegasus Unicorn (Schleich)

When Feya flies over the meadows of bayala on the back of her Pegasus unicorn and rides through the elf town of Soleyas, everyone turns to them full of wonder. Their gracefulness and beauty is probably unmatched throughout the whole elven realm. Feya loves her flying unicorn more than anything. She cares and provides for it for hours on end, and spends nearly just as much time decorating it as she does herself. Sometimes when they want to visit Princess Eyela, Feya is somewhat scatterbrained. She forgets her mirror or brush, which she normally never leaves the house without. And then they have to turn around halfway there and fly back, and all the elves get to behold them several times on the same day
