Safari Ltd. Wildlife Kangaroo with Joey Quality Construction from Phthalate Lead and BPA Free Materials for Ages 3 and Up

Red kangaroos can be found nearly anywhere in Australia, except for the extreme east, north and southwest of the continent. In those areas, you're more likely to encounter the antilopine, eastern gray or western gray kangaroos. As marsupials, kangaroo babies (called joeys) stay in their mothers' pouches for up to 200 days before being fully able to venture off into the world on their own. Kangaroos are generally quite shy and harmless to humans. Still, they should be treated with respect as their rear legs can deliver a powerful kick and their toe claws can cause injury. 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. This kangaroo mother is 3 inches tall and about 4 3/4 inches long from the tip of her snout to the end of her tail, nearly the size of an 11 oz. ceramic mug. The light orange red coloration denotes this mother and baby as red kangaroos, with the characteristic white underside and brown tips on the hands, feet, ears and tail.
