Föräldraskap i det vilda
Titel:Precis så svårt som det låter
Undertitel:Alla föräldrar har sin egen unika föräldrastil. Vissa är lite mer tillåtande, medan andra är mer beskyddande. Samma skillnader kan observeras hos djurföräldrar som tar hand om sina ungar i vildmarken. Till exempel har geparder och strutsar helt motsatta sätt att uppfostra sina små. Välj den som stämmer överens med dina värderingar och ge en nick till ömma familjescener med SCS Gepard Mehira och hennes unge SCS Gepardunge Jabari, eller SCS Struts Makena tillsammans med SCS Strutsägg.
De kärleksfulla ensamvargarna
Geparder är kända för att vara hängivna mödrar. De uppfostrar sina kullar på tre till fyra ungar på egen hand, utan någon hane närvarande. Även om detta inte är särskilt förvånande, eftersom gepardhonor föredrar att tillbringa tid borta från sin koalition, förringar det inte uppgiftens svårighet.
Från det ögonblick de föder ändrar gepardmammor helt sin introverta livsstil för att ta hand om sina ungar. I arton månader ägnar de sina liv åt att vårda, mata och lära sina ungar världens vägar. Detta kan vara tufft eftersom geparder är relativt små rovdjur och att fånga byten som kan mätta mer än en mage är en ganska stor uppgift. Ändå håller de ut – kärleken gör alltid det.
Unsurprisingly, cheetah mothers have come to represent qualities like love, dedication, patience, commitment, and resilience. These are all characteristics that you can admire, along with the beautiful animal, in the SCS Elegance of Africa Annual Edition 2023 Cheetah Mehira.
Portrayed in natural colors and with distinctive tear-shaped stripes along her muzzle, this naturalistic piece will breathe wilderness and the love of the cheetah into your home. Pair her with SCS Cheetah Baby Jabari for an adorable, masterfully crafted, mom and cub duo.
Or, if you love nature but prefer to put an artful spin on it, the Elegance of Africa Cheetah Head might be the ideal choice for you. Martin Zendron’s artistic interpretation of a cheetah’s bust is sure to enhance your living space with its sophisticated combination of wood, metal, and crystals.

Built for speed
Lightweight and rather small, cheetahs rely solely on their sprinting abilities to gain advantage on the hunting grounds, and their anatomy is designed for speed. Their small head and long legs give them an aerodynamic edge while wide nostrils, a powerful heart, and large lungs facilitate high speeds by allowing more oxygen to the muscles. Then there’s also their very flexible spine, which allows them to make huge leaps, and semi-retractable claws that assure traction with the ground. Together, all these traits have earned the cheetah the title of the fastest land mammal on Earth.
Watching cheetahs run is astonishing, almost mesmerizing.
Reimagining their majestic leaps through crystals only adds elegance to their natural movement. Our interpretation of the cheetah’s sprint is bold and dazzling, inviting you not only to admire the wild cat’s grace, but also to see crystalline form in motion.
The Majestic Team Players
Titel:Ostriches take a completely different approach to raising their young. They live in herds and take care of their chicks as a team. The males (black plumage) are typically the ones to dig the nest, while the females (gray plumage) lay the eggs. Both male and female birds take turns sitting on the eggs, with the hens looking after them during the day and roosters warming them up at night.
As soon as the little ones hatch, they start following the adults around, copying their behaviour, and learning to feed themselves.
Independence, trust, and teamwork – these are the traits that ostrich parents embody. If this is an approach you admire, then the SCS Ostrich Makena is for you. This brilliantly executed design captures the collaborative animal parent with a striking black and gold color palette. Add a beautiful Ceylon Topaz-colored SCS Ostrich Egg and you’ll have a dazzling savanna scene.
Devoted and attentive or independent and trusting; no matter which combination you choose, you’ll be bringing love and a touch of the savanna into your home.
