The elk is Sweden’s national animal and is known for its impressive antlers. However, only male elk have them. Elk bulls start growing the antlers at the age of two. They can reach a weight of up to 20 kg.
My grandchild thinks the Schleich wild animals are great. Once we have one we look on line to see them in their habitat so she can now relate the animal to nature. Strong, robust, lifelike unbreakable and safe.
