Safari Ltd. Reticulated Giraffe Toy

Ever curious about what animal can munch on the highest leaves of African trees? It's the reticulated giraffe, Earth's tallest land - dwelling creature! With incredibly long necks, they can reach up to 20 feet in height. Males even use their necks during mating. Historically, due to their large size and wide field of vision, they're rarely hunted, except by large lion prides. Sadly, this sub - species is vulnerable because of illegal poaching for its hair and skin. Despite protection efforts, their numbers haven't recovered yet. The scientific name is Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata. You can easily recognize them by their long necks, brown spots, and 'ossicones' on their heads. This superbly painted and professionally made reticulated giraffe toy captures the animal's look and calm nature. It's 7 inches long and 9.5 inches tall, about the length of a laid - down 16 oz. water bottle and a bit shorter than a legal - sized paper. It belongs to the Wild Wildlife collection and is non - toxic and BPA - free.

This reticulated giraffe toy is a great decorative piece or plaything. You can place it on your desk, shelf, or any display area. Just make sure to keep it away from potted plants as its long neck might accidentally knock them over. To clean it, simply use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe off the dust. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they could damage the paint. Keep it in a dry place to maintain its quality over time.
