History: One of the most widely distributed types of animal, reptiles inhabit every continent with the exception of Antarctica. However, because some reptiles are so closely related to birds (crocodiles, for example), some scientists believe that birds should be classified under the class Reptilia, which would make reptiles existent on all 7 continents.
Characteristics: A truly diverse scientific class, reptiles can range from the small beaded lizards found in this Toob to the enormous saltwater crocodile! Meticulously hand painted and researched for true to life accuracy, these figurines are ideal Montessori toys for learning and research, play, and even as décor in your bedroom or in a diorama.
Size: This Toob measures 3.8 cm long, 3.8 cm wide, and 27.5 cm tall, making it about the size of a standard ruler. It contains figurines of unique and vibrantly colored reptiles, including mustard yellow snakes, forest green iguanas, and rosy red lizards, that range from 3.2 to 9.5 cm tall.
