Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
The Papo Galapagos Tortoise #50161 measures: 4" L x 2.3" W x 2.25" T.
One of my favorite features of this figurine is the texture and detail on the head and legs. The scales and wrinkles are realistic. The neck sticking out is also a nice touch, making it look like the tortoise is about to take a bite of its favorite food.
However, one downside to this figurine is that the shell is a little overly shiny, which can make it look a bit artificial under certain lighting conditions.
Galapagos tortoises have a distinctive shell that helps protect them from predators and the harsh environment of the islands. They also have a unique ability to store water in their bodies, allowing them to survive for long periods of time without access to fresh water.
One of the most interesting features of Galapagos tortoises is their variation in shell shape and size among the different islands they inhabit. This variation is thought to be a result of geographic isolation and adaptation to different environments.
Galapagos tortoises were once heavily hunted by humans for their meat and oil, leading to a dramatic decline in their population. However, conservation efforts in recent decades have helped to stabilize their numbers, and they are now a protected species.
