Product Description Endemic to Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, iguanas are a genus of large reptiles that’s comprised of multiple species. The green iguana is by far the most common, and has a large range throughout South and Central America. Did you know that iguanas are actually excellent swimmers? In fact, they spend a large majority of their life in the wild around bodies of water, and often elude would-be predators by swimming away from them. 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. Measuring 9.4 inches long and 4 inches wide, this model is a bit longer than a 16 oz. water bottle on its side, and is about as wide as a credit card. This iguana baby’s green body means it’s most likely a member of the green iguana species! From the Manufacturer Play is the essential joy of childhood.
