Anteater by Schleich

Anteater by Schleich.  Hand painted animal figurine by Scheich.  The Anteater lives in the savannas and grasslands of Central and South America.  The mammal feeds primarily on ants and termites.  To get them out of their nests, the anteater bores in with its long snout, then sticks out its 60 cm long sticky tongue.  Anteaters also have a bushy tail that looks bigger than it actually is due to the long hair.

Model 14844.

5.39" x 1.37" x 2.16" (W x D x H).

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.
