Safari Ltd- Wild Safari Sea Life - Sperm Whale - Quality Construction from Phthalate Lead and BPA Free Materials - for Ages 3 and Up

The Sperm Whale is the largest predatory animal living on Earth today, reaching nearly 70 feet in length. It hunts in the deep ocean, and its prey often includes the second largest living predator - the Colossal Squid. Sperm whales were hunted extensively from the 1700s to the 1900s for the spermaceti oil in their large heads. Today, the species is protected nearly worldwide and commercial whaling has been largely halted globally. However, the Sperm Whale still faces threats from becoming tangled in fishing nets, and from being struck by large ships. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. The Sperm Whale figure is nearly 9 inches long and almost 2 inches to the top of its dorsal ridge. It is a little longer than a large pair of scissors. Its coloration is a dark gray, with white splotches around its jaw and glossy black eyes.
