Schleich African Elephant Calf (Red Dot)
At birth, a baby elephant falls from a height of around 7 centimetres. But this doesn't harm it.
Baby elephants are still quite clumsy after their birth and must first learn how to handle their trunks. They are still not able to feed themselves with it, so suckle from their mothers for the first year. In the process they gain a good kilo in weight each day. It is very important that they grow big quickly, because a lion or crocodile can hardly cause any harm to healthy, adult animals. If a predator does come dangerously close, the adults form a circle around the young. They are well protected in the middle.
Features:
- Hand Painted
- Highly Detailed
- Perfect for inquisitive young minds
Suitable for Ages 3 & up

The Toys101 Fast Dispatch Commitment
We aim to deliver your order within 2 to 4 business days.
Once you place your order, we’ll pick, pack, and dispatch it within 1 business day. So, if you order now, we’ll have it on its way by the same time tomorrow. If today’s a weekend or public holiday, we’ll dispatch it on the next business day.
You’ll receive two emails from us:
- Invoice – sent once your order is picked and packed.
- Tracking details – sent when the courier collects your parcel from our warehouse.
Delivery usually takes 1 to 3 business days, depending on your location. South Island and rural customers—you know the drill! During busy times (like the Christmas rush), delivery may take an extra 1 to 2 days.
Outer Island Deliveries
We love sending toys to the Outer Islands (e.g. Chatham, Kawau, Waiheke, Great Barrier)—thanks for shopping with us! We think you’ll find our delivery fees to these destinations very reasonable.
Delivery Fees
New Zealand’s geography makes courier costs a bit tricky, but we’ve worked hard to keep things fair. Our fees reflect not just distance, but also the care and packaging we put into getting your toys to you safely.
