Lynx by Schleich

Lynx by Schleich.  Hand painted animal figurine by Scheich.

Model 14822.

9.2cm x 3cm x 5cm.

The lynx is best known for the striking tufts of hair on its ears. These do not protect the ears of this predatory cat from the cold, but actually help it to hear better. Lynx that live in colder areas have larger and more heavily padded paws. Like snowshoes, they help the animals not to sink into the snow.

Fun fact:  The lynx can see six times as well as a human being – especially at night.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

Recommended for 3+.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
