The Jungle Chimpanzee is feared across ELDRADOR®. And rightly so! It moves swiftly through the dense jungle, using its powerful, spike-covered liana tail. Silently, it swings from branch to branch, staying hidden among the treetops. Nothing escapes its keen eyes. With sharp yellow eyes, it watches every jungle visitor. If someone ventures too close, it leaps down from above, jaws wide open in a fearsome attack. So be careful! And always keep an eye above!

Many Clydesdales can be easily identified from their white legs. This hair is also known as “feathering”. These horses often have a brown coat, but they can also be black, sorrel or roan. Clydesdales are often used as draught horses. For instance, they may haul tree trunks through terrain that is too difficult for tractors to traverse. They are easy to train and keen learners. But they’re also excellent horses for riding. However, because the horses are so big, you need special, extra-large saddles to ride them.

In the Tinker are the mighty Shire horse, the powerful Clydesdale, the majestic Friesian and the sure-footed Dales Pony. These were bred by travellers to the UK and Ireland to make for a strong and sturdy pull- and workhorse. At the same time they stayed very much on top of the horses characters. They should be absolutely gentle and reliable. To date, the Tinker is known and loved for these characteristics. It is therefore often used as a therapy horse.

The saltwater crocodile is the most dangerous of all crocodiles. It holds the record for the largest crocodile: It can weigh up to a ton, as much as a small car. While most crocodiles live in rivers and lakes, the saltwater crocodile is the only one that can deal with both fresh water and saltwater of the seas. In addition to the saltwater crocodile, there are many other kinds, a total of 25. These include, for example, the Nile crocodile, the armoured crocodile, alligators and caimans.

Elephants are known as being thick skinned. However, their skin is so sensitive, they can even get sunburnt. That is why elephants often throw several layers of mud on themselves. This pleasant "cooling pack" also combats the scorching heat. While elephants cannot hear any better than other animals with their huge ears, they help them to cope with the African heat. When they fan with their ears, the blood cools down and provides them with refreshment.

In the 15th century, monks began to breed the Andalusians in the south of Spain. With its graceful appearance, it enchanted especially nobles and kings. Therefore, only few would guess that the Andalusian has long been used as a cavalry horse. Although it was always known for his courage and strength, it is rather their elegance that distinguishes it. It is a unique dressage horse and even dominates the famous leap into the air, which is otherwise known only from the higher riding school of the Lipizzaner horse.

Pitch-black and silent, the Dementor™ floats in with his cape fluttering behind. He seems to be heading for Hogwarts. I wonder who he's got in mind there? You certainly don't want to bump into him at night - he is so creepy and very dangerous! He robs his enemies of their souls. Terrible! I wonder if he can be stopped with the right spell?

When the Flowy Unicorn Mare trots across the meadow, everyone turns to look at her. She looks beautiful. Her flowing blue tail looks like a waterfall and her lush glittery mane flows elegantly down her back. Everything about this gorgeous unicorn reminds us of water. Maybe that's why the pretty mare is the perfect symbol for hydropower? In any case, she is happy to stand up for a climate-friendly BAYALA.

Male gorillas often beat their fists on their chests. They do so to show who is the strongest in the group. However, it can also be a kind of greeting. Gorillas don’t just walk on the palms of their hands, but also on their knuckles. For this reason, they’re also known as knuckle-walkers.

The Triceratops seems to want to eat undisturbed. With its head lowered, it nibbles on grass and bushy herbs – its favorite food – with its pointed mouth. Since this herbivore can weigh up to 12 tons, it needs to eat a lot to feel full. It takes some time! It’s no wonder that the dinosaur with the easily recognizable horns is often seen in a meadow, searching for food.

What looks like a tropical tree is actually our Jungle Emperor from the ELDRADOR theme world. Thanks to his branches, the transformation artist can camouflage himself perfectly and blend into the surroundings. This means that he can suddenly surprise his opponents in battle or to escape doing the dishes. He uses the large shield on his left arm to ward off attackers or as a table during long train journeys. His hand is perfect for holding lianas or pencils and run through the children’s room until he camouflages and hides in your pencil case. He waits there patiently until it’s time for sport and he can run again.

It’s here! In the BAYALA world, they say that catching sight of it is even more rare than shooting stars at night or finding a clover leaf with exactly four leaves. But when our Rainbow Dragon from the BAYALA world appears on the ceiling of your children’s room, it is either on its way to you or the supplies in its cave have run out again. Or both. Its colorful plumage reflects all the sun’s rays with every single stroke of its wings. You can usually hear it too – either because of its loud call or because its tail has swept something off the shelf again. Do you think it will tidy up its mess?

The Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) gelding is very focused. He is in the middle of a competition and wants to show what he can do in dressage. He has practiced his piaffe for a long time, and now he performs it proudly. The white contrast markings above his hooves highlight his steps beautifully. The gelding holds his neck in an elegant arch and shows off his beautifully braided mane. He is sure to win the prize!

The beautiful Knabstrupper mare with her striking coat pattern attracts everyone’s attention.

The Knabstrupper gelding is especially captivated by her. But she doesn’t even realise it.

She is completely absorbed in her powerful gallop across the meadow. She loves when the wind plays in her thick mane and her tail flies behind her. Life is wonderful!

Anyone who enters the ice world had better take care – the snow wolf will definitely be lying in wait somewhere! With his white fur, he can move almost unseen in the snow and then, at the right moment, ambush opponents! Not even the smallest movement gets past his eagle eyes and, with his fine sense of smell, he can pick up even the faintest trail. He is a loner and also very tenacious, which is why he doesn't have a problem overpowering his opponents on his own. But when he needs help, he can call up the ice dragon with his wolf howl. The icy duo's opponents are then not only trembling from the cold. The snow wolf does not like the lava world (too hot) or the water world. If he is not thirsty, for him water should be frozen.

Koalas are quite the sleepy heads. They spend about 14 hours each day taking extensive naps. The rest of the time, they are busy eating eucalyptus leaves. They consume about a kilogram of them every day. They are very picky and will only go for 12 of the about 300 eucalyptus species.

De Bizon is het grootste zoogdier van Noord-Amerika en deze stier hier is een bijzonder mooi exemplaar. Hij staat zelfverzekerd op de weelderige weide met brede poten en graast met plezier. Dan tilt hij plotseling met een ruk zijn kop op. Heeft hij iets gehoord? De bizon draait zijn grote kop opzij en kijkt uit over de weidse vlakte. Niets te zien. Hij blijft lekker grazen. Het is een lieve reus. Maar als het moet, zal hij zichzelf en zijn kudde dapper verdedigen. Had je waarschijnlijk niet verwacht: hij kan heel hard rennen. Tot wel 56 km per uur! Als hij eenmaal op snelheid is, raast hij als een enorme lawine op zijn tegenstander af. Gelukkig gebeurt dit alleen in noodgevallen.

Het temperament van de Pura Raza Española Hengst staat op zijn gezicht geschreven. Het gitzwarte paard heeft dikke, beweeglijke manen en een weelderige staart.

Een geweldig paard!

De Baby Reuzenpanda kijkt nieuwsgierig uit zijn zwarte kraaloogjes. Hij strekt zijn dikke kop en wiebelt een beetje met zijn kleine, zwarte oren. Heeft hij iets gehoord? Misschien is hij ook op zoek naar zijn moeder, de reuzenpanda. Zij is momenteel aan het foerageren in het bamboebos. Daar zijn er een paar van in China, waar de pandabeer woont. Maar goed ook, want de kleine panda eet al graag bamboe.

De prachtige Plymouth Rock Kip loopt druk rond op de boerderij. Ze is op zoek naar voedsel. Misschien heeft de boer een knapperig slablaadje laten vallen?

Haar dichte, pluizige verenkleed is gewoon uitnodigend. Te mooi!
