Publisher's Description of River Otter (Incredible Creatures)
While the river otter has no aquatic predators and very few land predators, it does endure population loss due to human actives, including hunting, trapping, and being accidentally caught in fisher's nets. Despite this, river otters are classified as "least concern" on the conservation status spectrum and are only encounter problems in a few specific regions. Take this furry friend home or ride the river alongside it, whatever you prefer!
Kudos to Safari for their persistent efforts to create extremely detailed and authentic figures! Each plastic replica is hand-painted, safety-tested and is lead and phthalate-free. There are so many delightful collections to choose from; see categories below to browse their offerings from dragons to fairies, animals to dinosaurs. While supplies last, get a free Safari Ltd. tote bag with purchase of two or more figures or Toobs!
This collection of hand-painted, intricately detailed figures is large-sized (to spark a sense of wonder) and soft to the touch (for added play value). These animals are the coolest and most realistic out there, and your kids will love them. Each figure comes with an educational hang tag, and with the exception of the turtles, the sea animals float. The size varies quite a bit, with the iguana, desert monitor, and frilled lizard are practically life sized! Most animals measure between 3" to 13" long and 2" to 7" high. Exceptions are noted below; in general, more expensive animals are larger in size.
