The Schleich figurines are all modeled in finest detail, lovingly painted and encourage children to play and learn at the same time. It is said that wolves howl at the moon, but their sounds actually serve to communicate with each other. By howling, they want to draw the attention of the other pack members to something important, call them to hunt together, or try to drive away wolves that don't belong to the pack. Their cries can be heard for many miles.
