Safari Ltd. Salmon Toy

Salmon belong to the same family as trouts and char. Many are well - known for their 'anadromous' life cycle: born in freshwater, moving to saltwater for most of their lives, and then returning to freshwater to reproduce. Some salmon stay in freshwater all their lives, but most young ones head to the ocean and spend a long time there. When they're mature, they embark on a tough journey back to their birthplace, swimming against strong currents and leaping over rapids. Many don't make it, but those that do get to mate. This toy salmon, part of the Incredible Creatures® collection, is hand - painted with detailed sculpting, from fin spines to scales. It's swimming with its mouth slightly open, showing tiny teeth. Measuring 7 inches long and 2 ½ inches to the top of its dorsal fin, it's about the length of a standard pen or pencil. All our products are non - toxic and BPA - free. Note that hollow toys may float but aren't watertight.

This Safari Ltd. salmon toy is great for play or display. You can use it to teach kids about salmon's life cycle or just let them have fun playing with it. It's non - toxic and BPA - free, so it's safe for kids. When you're done playing, just wipe it with a dry cloth to keep it clean. Since it's a hollow toy, it may float, but don't leave it in water for a long time as it's not watertight. Store it in a dry place to avoid any damage.
