Description
Lions are large powerfully built cats. They are most active at night. They live in a variety of habitats but prefer grassland, savannah, dense scrub and open woodland. They usually hunt and eat medium-sized to large hoofed animals like wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes. Historically, they ranged across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa, but now they are found mainly in parts of Africa south of the Sahara.

Independent Review
These are the views of the independent Good Toy Guide experts on the play value of our animals:
“These wooden collectible animal figures are fantastic for open-ended and imaginative play, which is the superfood of a healthy play diet. This is because it provides so many opportunities for children to build social skills, make sense of the world around them and develop language. As they play together and form a story, children have to negotiate roles, listen to others, use creativity and practice speech to communicate what is happening.
The animals also feature beautiful detailing including ridges and curves which makes them very tactile and calming to touch. They proved very sturdy too, standing up to vigorous and messy play. It would be lovely to build up a collection of the figures over time to play with, that could then be handed down between family or friends.”
