Safari Ltd Wildlife Komodo Dragon Quality Construction from Phthalate Lead and BPA Free Materials for Ages 3 and Up

Komodo dragons are relics of prehistory, and an example of reptilian "megafauna". They are the largest living lizard species, growing up to 10 feet long and weighing 150 lbs. These monitor lizards are found only on a handful of islands in Indonesia, including the island of Komodo which gives them their name. Komodo dragons can be dangerous to humans, though attacks are rare. Their bite was long believed to be toxic due to bacteria in their saliva. However, recent research has indicated that they possess actual venom glands that contain proteins that help them bring down prey. 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 Komodo dragon measures 5 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches tall, making it about the size of a soda can on its side, considerably smaller than the real deal. The new and improved color scheme features a greenish brown coat with a dark green wash, with brown stripes on its tail and light brown accents surrounding its black eyes. Its snout and underside are a light tan.
