What kind of fruit do you think of when you see our tapir calf from schleich® WILD LIFE? Exactly! With its stripes and spots, it reminds you of a watermelon. But that funny pattern disappears when it grows up. Instead, the little glutton gets a lot fatter. When it grows up, your friend with the trunk is almost as heavy as a horse. Phew. Quite a weight. But also very useful. Because if the tapir leans against a tree for a moment, it falls over. This way, the tapir calf, when it grows up, can also get to the tastiest fruits that hang right at the top of the tree. A real animal to be blown away by! But until it grows up, it prefers to lean against your backpack. But not to knock it over. Just because it's so cozy.
