Observe the animals of Antarctica without the freezing temperatures! This Antarctica Toob includes an emperor penguin, a chinstrap penguin, a rockhopper penguin, a blue whale, a humpback whale, a sperm whale, an orca, a crabeater seal, an Antarctic fur seal, and a wandering albatross.
History: Due to its harsh and unforgiving climate and terrain, you might think that Antarctica is home to very few species of wildlife. In reality, it’s home to many exceptionally adapted animals. Different species of Antarctic penguins, seals, and whales, for example, have adapted thick layers of body fat for insulation and protection against the cold temperatures and freezing waters of their habitat.
Characteristics: Individually hand-painted and expertly sculpted, this Toob features models of some of the most important and iconic wildlife species endemic to Antarctica. You can use these figurines to learn about the different animals, for creative play, for school projects, or as pieces of décor for your nightstand or desk.
Size: 3.8 cm long, 3.8 cm wide, and 33 cm tall, this Toob is a bit larger than the size of a standard American ruler and contains 13 figurines that range from 3 to 10 cm tall.
