Safari: Desert Toroise

The Desert Tortoise can live up to 100 years and weigh up to 15 lbs. Unlike turtles Desert Tortoises can't swim, and only go in the water to bathe or drink. They can survive temperatures of 140 F by digging underground burrows. The Wild Safari North American Wildlife series was designed for the hands of the smaller child. Each figure is finely hand painted and sculpted by experts which ensures authenticity. By providing educational information in five languages, we encourage the awareness of these endangered wild animals and their habitats throughout the world.
