Desert Tortoise Wild Safari Figure Safari Ltd Lifelike Reptile Toy Realistic

Description: Explore the wonders of North American Wildlife with the Desert Tortoise figure by Safari Ltd. This realistic toy reptile is perfect for both kids and adults who are fascinated by nature and its amazing creatures. The desert tortoise is native to the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of the United States and Mexico, and it can grow to be over 80 years old. It spends most of its time in burrows to help regulate its body temperature and water loss, enabling it to survive the harsh climate of its natural habitat. Desert tortoises are classified as vulnerable on the conservation status spectrum, and their population numbers are negatively affected by human development, habitat loss and fragmentation, the introduction of new predators or competing species, and various diseases. However, there are many sanctuaries set up throughout the United States and Mexico to help stabilize the desert tortoise population. The scientific name of the desert tortoise is Gopherus agassizii. These herbivores have a big appetite, so it's a good idea to have some fresh greens on hand in case this pokey pal gets hungry! Designed and painted by professionals, this desert tortoise toy figurine is an exceptional gift, toy, or teaching aid. Standing at 1.5 inches tall and 3.25 inches long, this desert tortoise toy model is slightly shorter and longer than a deck of cards when stood on its side. The Desert Tortoise is a part of the Wild Safari North American Wildlife collection, and like all Safari products, it is non-toxic and BPA free. With lifelike details and high-quality materials, this collectible item is a great addition to any animal or nature enthusiast's collection. It's recommended for ages 12 months and up, making it a perfect gift for young children who are just starting to explore the world around them.
