Hello friends, this is the figure of
Indian Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) Linnaeus, 1758 of
Schleich-Wild Life. Total lenght 180 mm. This figure is of 2000 line of figures and currently is retired. One-horned rhinos once ranged across the entire northern part of the Indian Subcontinent, along the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra River basins, from Pakistan to the Indian-Burmese border, including parts of Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. Among terrestrial land mammals native to Asia, the Indian rhinoceros is second in size only to the Asian elephant. This heavily built species is also the second-largest living rhinoceros, behind only the white rhinoceros.
Schleich are one of the oldest brands that they do figures currently. They have done new figures of some old replicas. This replica is one of their old treasures. This figure is a very nice replica. The proportions of this figure are nice, but if it has a heavier body, it would be better. Details of body armor are good. The stand of this figure is nice and it is a good acquisition for rhinoceros collectors. I think that this figure is one of the best figure of Indian Rhinoceros of the past. However, we can find figures that they are better as
Papo version or
Safari Ltd WS Wildlife version.I bought this figure in a flea market of Cádiz (Spain) 5 years ago
.
