The Vaquita Porpoise is a symbol of the fragile balance in our ecosystem, and the Safari Ltd. hand-painted figurine pays tribute to this extraordinary yet endangered species. Native to the Gulf of California in Mexico and with an estimated population of just 30 individuals, the vaquita's struggle for survival is a story that needs to be told. This meticulously crafted figure showcases the vaquita's unique features, including its stocky body, rounded, beakless head, and proportionately large dorsal fin. The hand-painted details, such as the dark gray markings around the mouth and eyes, add lifelike appeal and educational value. Built with non-toxic, BPA-free PVC, this figurine is safe for children ages 3+. It's part of the Wild Safari® Sea Life collection, integrating effortlessly with other sea creatures for a comprehensive learning experience. As an educational tool, playmate, or collector's item, the Vaquita Porpoise figurine inspires awareness and appreciation for the wonders of marine life. Its message resonates deeply, reminding us of the shared responsibility we hold to protect and preserve our world's natural beauty.
