Baby African elephants spend 20 to 22 months in their mothers body before they see the light of the world. Female elephants have the longest gestation period of all mammals. An elephant herd often consists of ten to twelve animals and is led by an experienced female. Elephants are known as being thick skinned. However, their skin is so sensitive, they can even get sunburnt. That is why elephants often throw several layers of mud on themselves. This pleasant cooling pack also combats the scorching heat. While elephants cannot hear any better than other animals with their huge ears, they help them to cope with the African heat. When they fan with their ears, the blood cools down and provides them with refreshment. This figurine stands at 8.2cm tall and is made from high quality, softened plastic, making it pleasant to touch, and not too hard, making it easier and much more comfortable for children to hold and play with. This figurine features no moving parts.
