This is the only model specifically identified as a Juvenile / Young African Elephant. As such, it is slightly larger than the other 8 Elephant Baby / Calf models. Nice pose with the head and trunk up and one leg bent as if in motion. Nice nubby tusks. Good looking overall model. Texture on the back is a little smoother than one would expect on an elephant, but still a good model. This is your only “Juvenile” Elephant choice.
This is one of our favorite African Elephant Calf figures. Head turned pose is well done. Cute curled trunk and figure even features nubby tusks (many of the elephant calf figures do NOT have any tusks). Lots of great texture on the trunk, ears and body. Nice walking pose. Coloring of grey is not the same as the Papo Young African Elephant. We would have liked to see them pair off better. Overall, this is a cute African Elephant Calf figure from Papo.
This is your only choice for a brown African Elephant Calf – even so, it is a well designed and detailed figure. Body has great texture on the back, sides, and legs, Head is well sculpted with a short little trunk. One of the cutest and best looking models, but you must be looking for a brown elephant calf to make this one work.
This is a very cute figure. Head is looking straight ahead and all 4 feet are on the ground so a fairly straightforward pose. Nice ridges on the bridge of the trunk. Nice saggy, baggy skin. Coloring is on the lighter side of grey. Good looking figure.
